Works are now complete on the adaption of the existing depot to accept 120 EV Buses with an overhead gantry charging solution.

Working in conjunction with First Bus, the installation supplies power to Yutong single and double decker buses.

The 5No innovative double-span gantry installations utilise Heliox Flex 180 chargers at ground level, feeding electrically operated reels suspended above each bus at high level. The reels provide remote lowering of power leads adjacent to the charging port of each bus, reducing trailing cables and intermediate islands. 

There were further ground mounted chargers located around the perimeter of the site also utilising Heliox Flex 180 unit, and 6No. 360KWH chargers are located on the site to provided ultra-fast charging.
