After the successful test last week of 7 fully electric BYD buses at the city service in Almere, these buses will be deployed on the timetable as of 28 February. “The buses have been tested on the bus lane for a whole week in a so-called shadow timetable. This was to see if the range was sufficient and to instruct our drivers about driving an electric bus “, says Hanneke Ruiter, spokesperson at Keolis Nederland, the carrier that provides public transport under the brand allGo in Almere.
The throttle of an electric bus works much more directly and these buses attract faster than a bus with an internal combustion engine. In addition, the driver must learn to ride efficiently by bus, so that there is always enough energy on board to be able to drive the journeys. The test last week showed that the buses in range meet expectations. “It is a good bus, good to drive”, was the judgment of our drivers.
In addition, the recharging via the new charging points at the allGo site in Almere Buiten was tested. “Based on these extensive test drives, we are confident that we can use the electric bus to operate a reliable timetable”, says Hanneke Ruiter.
The buses have all facilities on the inside that are also available on the other allGo buses. Think of dual information screens, a digital route strip, WIFI and USB charging points for mobile devices in the black sockets on the walls. This makes the electric bus a full-fledged bus.
The electric buses are first used on the lines M5 and M6 and possibly on the M3, M4 and M7. Now it is up to the travelers in Almere to get acquainted with the electric buses.
The national picture is that electrical buses are increasingly being used, with the aim of reducing exhaust emissions, reducing noise pollution and improving the liveability of cities. With the new electric buses allGo and the municipality of Almere expect to have taken a big step in that direction.
