ABB and Volvo Buses partnering on fast-charging system for hybrid and electric buses

Green Car Congress

ABB and Volvo Buses are partnering to co-develop and to commercialize electric and hybrid buses with open standards-based direct current (DC) fast charging systems. That system enables onboard batteries to be charged in 15 seconds with a 400 kW boost at selected stops using a roof-mounted system (“Flash station”). Earlier post.)
