BAE Systems to power up to 600 buses with electric propulsion
With Series-ER, the buses will be able to drive on clean electric power through designated low and zero emission zones.
BAE Systems was selected by Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL) and the Republic of Ireland’s National Transport Authority (NTA) to supply up to 600 electric power and propulsion systems for its new fleet of buses in Ireland. The selection includes an initial order for 100 systems.
With Series-ER, the buses will be able to drive on clean electric power through designated low and zero emission zones. The system uses global positioning software to enable the buses to run in full electric mode when they enter the zones. The buses switch to battery power when the engine is off — eliminating the release of exhaust emissions in populated areas such as near schools, hospitals, and tourist attractions.
