e-troFit Bus – Converting diesel buses to electric drive
The e-troFit retrofit solution makes it possible to continue using vehicles sustainably as electric vehicles, thereby reducing emissions and operating costs at the same time.
Instead of replacing existing vehicles with new electric vehicles, in-tech’s e-troFit concept makes it possible to retrofit buses and other commercial vehicles with electric drives. A conversion is up to 50 percent less expensive than a new purchase.
in-tech specialises in custom-made solutions: An analysis of the route network reveals the requirements for battery range, motor power, and charging concept. Based on this, a tailor-made drive train is designed that only contains the required battery capacity. This saves costs and weight. The actual conversion of the bus takes place in a network of partner workshops, based on the specified components. in-tech accelerates the complete connection of the vehicle with the digital infrastructure, through to smart load management in the power grid. As part of the conversion, the vehicles routinely are equipped with a telematics module that transmits all of the vehicle’s operating data to the operator.
