Tag 2 / Day 2 @ 12:10

Battery for public transport evolution challenges and future trends

Analyze the technological evolution of battery chemistries specifically designed for the high-cycle demands of public transit, comparing energy density, charging speeds, and safety standards for the next generation of e-buses and trams.
Examine the operational challenges of transitioning large-scale municipal fleets to electric, focusing on infrastructure requirements, thermal management in varying climates, and the impact of rapid-charging cycles on long-term battery health.
Identify emerging trends such as second-life battery applications and standardized modular designs that are set to redefine the circular economy and cost-effectiveness of zero-emission public transport systems.
