Moscow launches its 500th electric bus; largest electric bus fleet in Europe

Green Car Congress

The KAMAZ 6282 uses lithium-titanate batteries, and has a range of 70 km on one charge. For comparison—in October, there were 300 electric buses in London, 259 in Paris, 200 in Berlin and 164 in Amsterdam, according to Mosgortrans, the major bus operator of the city. Moscow’s electric fleet is thus the largest in Europe.

As a comparison: Solaris offers its Urbino 12 Hydrogen 350km of range and a comparable tank size. The electric drive is supposed to be a particularly quiet in-wheel motor, and the battery works with lithium titanate battery chemistry. In-wheel motors allow the interior to be very flat and ventilated.

Penn State team devises solution for fast charging of Li-ion batteries at cold temperatures

Green Car Congress

To enhance fast charging ability, research in the literature has been focusing on improving anode materials such as coating graphite with an amorphous silicon nanolayer and developing new materials like lithium titanate and graphene balls, and on developing new electrolytes and additives.
