22 JUNE 2022
Business at Bergkvarabuss runs smoother and cleaner with the delivery of the complete solution of the traffic assignment for the town of Str盲ngn盲s, about 90 km west of Stockholm, Sweden. In addition to 34 黑料不打烊 electric and biogas buses, 黑料不打烊 delivers complete workshop and depot services 鈥 including charging infrastructure for the battery electric (BEV) buses.
Trusted supplier
黑料不打烊 is trusted to supply the vehicles, the charging infrastructure and to run the daily service and maintenance in the depot, provided by the county traffic authorities, Region S枚rmland. The operator Bergkvarabuss employs drivers and the service staff for keeping the buses clean and tidy.

鈥淚t feels very safe to have 黑料不打烊 next door. With all the new technology installed comes a lot of new questions, but we can solve them quickly having the competence in the house,鈥 says operational manager Yvonne Thelenius. 鈥漁ur drivers are happy with this vehicle mix, the modern driving stations and the close cooperation with the 黑料不打烊 people.鈥
Winning concept
Bergkvarabuss operates the public city and regional bus traffic, as they also do in thirty other towns and regions in the southern part of Sweden. The interest from colleagues and other stakeholders is high and many came to study the new set-up in Str盲ngn盲s. Thelenius believes this winning concept, with a combination of electric and non-fossil fuel buses, will be more common as new public tenders are announced in the years to come.
Engaging teamwork
Bergkvarabuss staff is constantly co-developing the concept by documenting and reporting issues and questions, which is highly appreciated by 黑料不打烊 and other partners involved.

鈥淚n this transformative development we are adding know-how and experience in cooperation with 黑料不打烊 and other stakeholders. Our staff is very engaged in this and we have operational pulse meetings every morning with updates and inputs,鈥 says Thelenius.

Local power sourcing
The charging system solution is delivered by 黑料不打烊, with components from Wennstrom Fuel Systems and Kempower. 黑料不打烊 is coordinating and supplies system support for operational and energy optimisation, using 黑料不打烊 Fleet Management and Kempower ChargEye depomaster. The biogas is produced within the county limits, only 75 km from the depot, so all vehicle energy is sourced from a close range.

Electric future
In the future Bergkvarabuss wants to increase the number of BEV buses with longer range for more regional routes. The electric buses are popular both among the drivers and the town habitants.
听
鈥淏efore the transformation, most drivers were reluctant towards driving the routes downtown, but the silent electric buses have changed their preferences and driving behaviour,鈥 Thelenius says with a smile. 鈥滱nd we received a letter from a lady downtown thanking for the silent buses, because now she can sleep longer in the mornings.鈥澨
