Prior to the introduction of the electric shuttle bus, we understood that the e-buses would result in changes for our vehicle drivers and the employees in the workshop. Rather than existing under the bus with a spanner, the workshop is progressively being in or on the bus with a laptop computer to keep an eye on the battery management system, the batteries themselves, or various other parts of the electric system. Of course, this is not feasible without appropriate training and also additional education and learning.
For the vehicle driver, on the other hand, not that numerous changes. Fifty percent an hour to obtain utilized to it, after that the handling of the electric bus has ended up being acquired behavior, claim the coworkers who have already been behind the wheel. The brakes, as an example, are seldom required. If the gas pedal is lifted, the bus begins to generate electricity for the batteries. This brakes at the same time so that the motorist with a little experience just has to press the brake pedal for the last few meters before the bus stop or the red traffic light.
Before a vehicle driver can browse the web with the e-bus, however, he needs to be advised in the brand-new modern technology: for example, he should understand how to drive to the charging station and how to start or end the charging procedure.
And the Passengers?
The guests discover the tiniest distinction. The seating and standing room capacity continues to be the same because although the bus has several batteries aboard, the engine and transmission are left out, liberating room for the batteries. The convenience is likewise customarily with low-floor construction, lowering at the bus quit, cooling, and the viewers for our electronic tickets.
