The Low Carbon Vehicle Project (LowCVP) held its latest Zero Emission Bus Workshop in Guildford last week (13 June).
In partnership with Zenobe Energy, Stagecoach, Alexander Dennis and BYD, the free workshop looked at how on-site battery storage has been deployed to support the electrification of bus services.
The workshop also included a tour of the infrastructure at Stagecoach South's Guildford depot, which has nine electric buses that operate on a park-and-ride service into the town.
A range of speakers discussed topics such as, how cost and time savings can be achieved by reducing the need to upgrade the local electricity network, how smart and time-of-use charging can reduce energy costs and how the batteries can be used to support the local grid in times of high demand.
