In an ongoing effort to combat the effects of climate change, many cities are transitioning from fossil fuel powered transport to cleaner and more sustainable electric alternatives. This trend is apparent in the United Kingdom, which is setting ambitious targets to become carbon net-zero in the near future.
As a result, mass transit vehicles are increasingly turning green due to incentives and regulations enacted by the UK government. While this is a positive shift, the challenge lies within the lack of infrastructure (e.g. complex hardware systems such as bus charging stations, which often requires completely redesigning bus depots) and software solutions that can report the real-time condition of buses.
These challenges can make the transition to sustainable bus operations less desirable for traditional players in the transportation sector.
As the UK’s leading owner and operator of battery storage, Zenobē helps bus operators make the transition to renewable electricity sources by utilizing innovative finance and technology solutions. Zenobe provides battery services to commercial EV operators; including installing the entire charging infrastructure and providing a software solution that facilitates optimal bus charging.
