Electric Bus Charging Structures

Effects of climate change, urban air pollution, and potential for cost-savings are encouraging cities to find more sustainable and health-conscious ways to offer transportation. In recent years, as battery technology has advanced to support larger vehicles, electric buses have emerged as a viable alternative to traditional diesel-powered buses. In fact, studies have shown that the benefits of switching from diesel to electric buses vastly outweigh the associated costs over the lifetime of a bus.

Electric bus charging structures from Valmont^® Structures use fully automated pantograph chargers which reach down to transfer power through contact points on the roof of a bus. Our structures are the safest, most efficient, and ideal solution to keeping your fleet charged-up – whether it happens on the route or at the end-points of the route. Furthermore, our solutions for charging infrastructure ensure minimum emission public transit without negative impacts on the normal operation of routes.

Our electric bus charging structures enable:

Safe, reliable, and fully-automated charging connection with a pantograph

Fast charging with a wide range of power levels to meet the charging needs that best fit your operating schedule

Ability to charge buses from different manufacturers with the same charger, following the international standards and comprehensive interoperability testing

Versatile response to the growing demand for sustainable traffic solutions

Health care cost reductions due to decreased respiratory and other diseases

Use of energy from renewable sources instead of combustion engines

Passenger and resident comfort due to lower noise levels from transportation

High uptime transport capacity and operational availability
