Full-electric bus operation according to the DockingPrinciple in regular service

For the first time worldwide, the project consortium of the BMBF-funded SEB subproject EDDA-Bus has finalized the field test of a 12-m battery bus with fast charging characteristic according to the so-called DockingPrinciple. The paper will outline specific features of the vehicle construction, the charging stations and the charging concept. The first results and findings of the ongoing field test in route service form the basis for conclusions on a further need for research.
