🚌 By 2025, 60 electric buses will serve Vienna, 30 of them are already on the streets. Equipped with our SLS102 roof-mounted pantograph, the Wiener Linien vehicles are charged both after each round on the route and at night in the depot. 🔋And here's how the “Bus-Up” charging principle works: The vehicle stops under the charging station, the pantograph mounted on the roof of the vehicle extends, connects to the charging station and charges the batteries. Thanks to pantograph technology, recharging is completely automated. Handling plugs is no longer necessary. And those are not the only advantages of charging from "above". Transport companies also benefit from: ✔️ space-saving parking in the depot ✔️ a high charging capacity of up to 450 kW ✔️ a long service life of the system compared to automated plug system ✔️ low service and maintenance costs Learn more about our conductive and fully-automated charging solutions here: https://lnkd.in/gT-32Fi7 #schunk #passionfortechnology #ebus #charging

Almost 100 enthusiastic cyclists came together for the Schunk bike tour! After the Bike Service Center Hüttenberg (Bike Service Center Hüttenberg) had already offered a bike check for donations in the morning, the tours started thereafter. The donations of around 250 euros went to the charitable organization Rückenwind in Gießen, which supports families suffering from cancer.     The participants could choose between three different routes, which were prepared and accompanied by the tour partners. The road bike tour was led by Jochen Schappel. The mountain bike tour offered three levels of difficulty: the beginner tour was led by Danny Naumann, the medium tour by Robin Scharf and the advanced tour was accompanied by Christian Bischoff. Dirk Waldschmidt was responsible for the pleasure and family tour. In addition, the tours were supported by a support vehicle, which was on standby for refreshments and emergencies. Johanna Dywan and Damian Obruschnik were the helpful drivers. Nadja Gabriel and Isabell van Zon were responsible for organizing the event.     The groups returned safely at noon. A joint barbecue rounded off the day. Luis Gasch took charge of the barbecue for the participants, who had more than earned the buffet. As Isabell van Zon put it: "There was a relaxed and informal atmosphere that characterized the whole day." #schunk

It's off to Paris again! For the third time in a row, Schunk Group employees are taking part in the Europe-wide charity campaign "Team Rynkeby". Under the motto "We cycle, you donate!", the team is collecting donations for the Sylt Clinic of the German Children's Cancer Foundation. The "Cash for Kilometer" campaign supports seriously ill children and their families. The tour started on June 30, 2024 in Essen and ends on July 6, 2024 in Paris. Team member Tobias Wollweber, who is contesting his first season with the team, reports on his enthusiasm: "The registration and participation in the kick-off event and the ride in Rotterdam got me so excited that I immediately decided to ride to Paris in yellow for a good cause." The tour extends over seven stages, in which the team covers a total of 1008 kilometers and 5430 vertical meters. Further information on the fundraising campaign can be found on the websites of the German Childhood Cancer Foundation and the Racemap platform. #TeamRynkeby #Charity #SchunkGroup #Kinderkrebsstiftung #SyltKlinik
