BUS DISPLAY POWERS UP INNOTRANS
The Bus Display provides an individualized
concept for presentations by vehicle manufacturers
and trade visitors at InnoTrans.
The unique display area in the centrally
located ‘Sommergarten’ combines a static
Display with 500 metres of test track,
where buses can be demonstrated. With
the need to combat climate change, the
subject of electro-mobility is becoming increasingly
important, especially in urban
public transport.
Trade visitors will no doubt be taking a
keen interest in the latest developments
from fi ve new international exhibitors.
Alstom is introducing its ’Aptis‘ for the
fi rst time. With its bodywork and continuous
low fl oor, this electric bus is more
akin to a tram. The Linkker 12+ is another
vehicle which certainly off ers enough
power. The Finnish manufacturer Linkker
has equipped its electric bus with a
high-performance lithium titanium oxide
battery which, together with its short recharging
times, gives it a daily range of
up to 217 miles.
The eBus Cluster group and component
manufacturer Faiveley Transport will also
be represented. The cluster is concerned
with the systematic interconnection of
three areas of technology, i.e. information
and communication technology, vehicle
technology and energy management,
and well as combining a range of skills as
systems suppliers. Innovative systems
solutions for electrically powered buses
are being developed and a one-stop shop
for comprehensive systems solutions is
provided. The Faiveley Transport product
portfolio includes auxiliary power converters,
air conditioning units and components
for the entire power train for buses and
rail vehicles. The fi fth newcomer, LogPay
Mobility Services, is off ering trade visitors
technical support in selling tickets through
mobiles and online, as well as on behalf of
employers.
