In Motion Charging Trolleybus Systems
The 2024 Policy Brief on In-Motion Charging Trolleybus Systems explores how In-Motion Charging (IMC) technology can drive sustainable, zero-emission urban transport. With its in-motion charging capability, this system reduces reliance on large batteries and offers cities a cost-effective solution for decarbonising their bus fleets.
Readers will gain key insights into the benefits of IMC trolleybuses, such as lower infrastructure costs, improved service flexibility, and enhanced energy efficiency. The publication also provides guidance on integrating IMC systems with existing transport networks.
Featuring case studies from cities like Prague, Solingen, and Tallinn, this brief demonstrates how IMC technology has enabled these cities to improve transport capacity, reduce emissions, and streamline operations.
Discover why cities should:
- Upgrade existing trolleybus systems with IMC technology to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
- Combine IMC systems with eBRT routes for high-capacity, continuous service.
- Promote pilot projects to evaluate the real-world benefits of IMC systems.
Download the policy brief now to discover how IMC trolleybus systems can help your city achieve its sustainability goals.
