Electrobus and trolleybus «Electron» for Lviv
26.12.2013
Under the terms of the held and accepted tender the joint
Ukrainian-German venture «Electrontrans»which is a part of Electron corporation, will make
electrobus and the trolleybus for Lviv.
The «Electron» electrobus is an eco-friendly city transport and an
example of rational use on passenger transport cheap (in comparison with petrol
and diesel fuel) electric power.
For comparison: the cost of 100 km of run at the bus with the diesel
engine makes 450 UAH, And in the electrobus - 31 UAH. That is, if with the
diesel engine on a shift (run of 300 km) it is necessary fuel for the sum of
1350 UAH, for the same run the cost of charging storage batteries of the
electrobus makes 94 UAH. It is necessary to add and that traction of the
electric motors have efficiency to 95% (in comparison with 22-42% at internal
combustion engines).
Charging of traction accumulators of the electrobus occurs in park from
the special high-voltage charger. It is
possible to
recharge batteries during regenerative
braking
and while
driving
down the hills (when
switching
the motor in generator mode). The resource
of
traction batteries of the electrobus - not less than 5
years.
The «Electron» electrobus differs in comparison with regular bus also
with simplicity of the design and steering, high reliability and durability of
operation, convenience of servicing, big interservice run and increased
requirements of traffic safety and passengers.
The electrobus has full-wheel drive, in its configuration the scheme «motor wheel» that allowed
to refuse from a gear box and a propeller shaft.
Braking system - pneumatic, with ABS. It is realized also a possibility
of braking by the electric motor without use of mechanical brakes, that significantly
prolongs life cycle of brake shoes.
Completely low-floor electrobus «Electron» is ecological, quiet, with
high smoothness of a course luxury passenger transport. Electrobus is equipped
with ramp for the entrance of passengers on a wheelchair and a special place
with the equipment for its fixing during movement. The interior of the
electrobus has 30 places for sitting, and full passenger capacity - 80 people.
In interior it is established autonomous system of heating and video
surveillance system - color video cameras in interior and the color monitor in
a driver's cab.
What about the new trolleybus «Electron» it is a modern,
completely low-floor electrotransport, it is equipped with adaptations for
physically disabled people. General capacity of people – 106. The main
constructive difference of the new trolleybus is possibility of its autonomous
course (without contact network) on distance of 3 km.
Electrobus and trolleybus «Electron» will be made during 2014.
