Siemens Smart Infrastructure won a major contract from Hamburger Hochbahn the largest local transport provider in the Hanseatic city Siemens will equip two of the six carports at the Alsterdorf bus depot with a total of 96 charging points as well as medium and low-voltage technology Operations are scheduled to start in summer 2021 it is one of the largest and most modern bus depots for electric buses in Europe Hamburger Hochbahn has set itself the goal of converting its entire fleet of around 1,000 buses to emission-free and climate-friendly vehicles by the end of the decade the conversion of the depot infrastructure is underway in order to be able to charge and maintain the new fleet The order includes 48 Sicharge UC 200 charging stations with CCS charging plugs per carport Each charging station has a charging capacity of 150 kilowatts and supplies buses with electricity when they are not in service All the charging technology is housed in a technology control center on the roof of each carport The charging cable is routed along the roof directly to the charging stations This allows the space at the depot to be used for bus parking in the best possible way The Alsterdorf bus depot covers 45,000 square meters and was opened in April 2019 by Hamburger Hochbahn It is one of the most advanced bus depots in Europe as well as the first in Germany designed solely for emission-free buses the buses will be supplied with green electricity at six carports The Alsterdorf bus depot is the newest of a total of seven locations of Hochbahn Hochbahn has been purchasing emission-free buses only “In equipping the bus depots with the necessary charging infrastructure it is important for us to have a single-source partner who can deliver future-proof charging infrastructure along with all the necessary electrical components and services We found such a partner in Siemens and are looking forward to executing this exciting project,” said Bastian Schmidt Project Lead for Infrastructure Electromobility at Hamburger Hochbahn AG “In addition to a future-proof and easy-to-upgrade infrastructure saving space when integrating charging technology is important especially in city infrastructure rooftop installation was an appropriate solution,” said Jean-Christoph Heyne Head of Future Grids at Siemens Smart Infrastructure “I am pleased that in this case we were not only able to stand out with our flexible charging infrastructure but also to meet the customer’s high demands with regard to sustainability the charging stations are manufactured exclusively with electricity from renewables We therefore supply sustainably produced technology for more sustainable cities.” © Copyright 2012 -

For the first time last week, they were also used to discharge power to three new Solaris-built buses operating transport company Hamburger Hochbahn AG’s ‘innovation line 109’ service which runs between Hamburg’s central bus station and the nearby suburb of Alsterdorf “Many cities are implementing electric bus systems,” explained Sandra Gott-Karlbauer CEO of Siemens Business Unit Urban Transport “It’s therefore essential that we ensure the interoperability of electric buses through charging stations and infrastructure that reduces the cost and impact of transport systems and creates more flexibility and reliability for operators.” The two 300-kilowatt charging stations in Hamburg and Alsterdorf are capable of providing enough power for an e-bus to make the 9-kilometre journey between the two terminals for a full day the interoperability of Hamburg’s e-bus charging infrastructure is made possible through the installation of Siemens’ on-board charging systems onto the buses themselves The on-board charging systems use open international electrical standards IEC 61851 and ISO 15118 and can be fitted to any model of electric bus wanting to connect to the city’s quick-charge stations Siemens’ charging systems are fully automatic and are designed to be used by electric bus The charging stations and on-board systems are usually supplied as turnkey solutions for municipal transport services and allow operators to select e-buses independently of the charging infrastructure installed in the city Having both the onboard equipment and charging infrastructure provided by one supplier not only makes interoperability possible the City of Hamburg launched an initiative to encourage electric-powered mobility and by 2015 there were 140 public charging points and nine fast chargers in the municipality The next phase of the initiative will expand the network to 592 charge points and 70 fast chargers You have reached the limit for the basic subscription.
