To enhance electrifying passenger bus fleets in the Walloon region on the road to a fossil fuel-free future, Belgian public transport company TEC is adding 50 new sites to charge e-buses. 🚌⚡ After a power boost at the so-called pantograph, which is a mechanical arm that connects to overhead charging infrastructure, the bus driver can take its passengers to their next location, reducing emissions, improving the air quality, decreasing noise pollution and enhancing public health and urban living conditions. To supply the electricity that’s needed to charge the e-buses, TEC needs medium voltage walk-in substations for about 50 new charging sites. Alfen is proud to have created the winning design in a public tender for the 50 sites – that will all require 1 or more substations for the desired grid capacity. “Our smart and compact engineered design for this public tender project stood out between the other designs”, said Yves Vercammen, Country Manager for Alfen Belgium, after signing the double-digit million-euro contract with TEC. “Alfen is well known for designing complex and tailored-made substations like these. And with this turnkey project including all the electric installations and the civil works, we’re proving that Alfen is much more than a supplier of concrete substations. We’re a system integrator for MV substations, unburdening customers from A to Z.” #Alfen #Emobility #TEC #Electrification
