This innovation eliminates the need for lengthy stops at charging stations, allowing buses to recharge while in motion and maintaining regular service schedules. The system, already proven in other cities, could improve efficiency and reduce downtime for the electric buses. With climate goals and urban mobility challenges driving the shift, the upgrade marks a significant advancement in clean transportation infrastructure.
