An online course on Electric Bus Procurement, Planning & Funding

UITP Academy is launching an online course on Electric Bus Procurement, Planning & Funding, starting on 7 June and ending on 15 June with Shenzhen Bus Group which has achieved full electrification. This course features 8 interactive online sessions.

With most metropolitan areas targeting zero-emission environments, an increasing number of cities and transport companies are considering a fully electric solution for their urban bus network. In this context, the UITP Academy and Shenzhen Bus Group designed this training programme on Procurement, Planning & Funding of Electric Buses offering a comprehensive overview on how to procure, plan and fund of electric buses. This training will give you an insight of urban bus networks, the importance of building a sustainable infrastructure, recent technologies, and using data for the procurement and planning of efficient timetables and scheduling on your routes.

 

Shenzhen Bus Group is the largest and oldest public transportation operator in Shenzhen, China. After achieving full electrification (operating 6,053 e-buses) in 2018, SZBG has become the largest new energy public transportation operator in the world. SZBG also have started trialing electric self-driving buses on open and mix-trafficked roads since 2017 with zero accidents to date.
