“We are thrilled to be working with CTtransit to manage the
charging of their electric buses,” said Greg Hintler, CEO, North
America of The Mobility House. “We look forward to helping them
achieve their goal of converting the statewide public
transportation bus fleet from diesel to zero-emission models by
2035.”
ChargePilot® will manage 23 ABB 150kW HVC chargers CTtransit
already installed, with as many New Flyer Xcelsior 40' buses across
three bus depots: Stamford, Hartford, and Hamden, CT. ChargePilot®
will dynamically adjust charging for existing site loads at Hamden
and Hartford, further maximizing cost savings.
ChargePilot® will also be integrated with CTtransit's fleet
operations software. This integration will allow ChargePilot® to
optimize charging around fleet schedules and ensure buses are ready
for their scheduled pullout.
“With the addition of electric bus smart charging at these three
sites, we are taking a meaningful step towards our fleet
electrification goal,” said CTtransit general manager Thomas
Stringer. “We have been impressed with the energy management
capabilities of ChargePilot, which we expect will save us hundreds
of thousands in reduced energy costs.”
The CTtransit project represents The Mobility House’s 100th site
sold in North America, for a total of more than 32,000 kW total
charging capacity here. This adds to the company’s industry-leading
charging depot portfolio, including notable transit agencies such
as New York City Transit, St. Louis Metro, and Long Beach Transit.
Worldwide, ChargePilot® manages more than 1,700 charging depot
sites.
