Electric Bus Diploma Programme (3 Modules)

With more and more metropolitan areas targeting zero-emission environments, an increasing number of cities, transport authorities and operators are considering a fully electric solution for their urban bus network.

In this context, this onsite diploma programme designed on Electric Buses offering a comprehensive overview of the electric solution for urban bus networks: from the setting of a long-term city strategy in terms of energy transition to the definition of a charging strategy and the choice of technology and all the way to the planning, procurement, operation, and maintenance of the e-bus system.

The aim of this training is to give a clear idea about different phases of electric bus in the life cycle. Wide knowledge and information will be shared in the chosen specific topics.

The Electric Bus Diploma Programme will take place in July, September and November 2025. It is an expert-level year-long course composed of three modules taking place in three different cities.
