Hitachi Energy and Yinlong Energy have announced a partnership with Emirates Global Motor Electric (EGME) to support electric mobility initiatives in Abu Dhabi.

Emirates Global Motor Electric (EGME) is part of Al Fahim Group and the distributor of energy from the global battery manufacturer Yinlong Energy for the Middle East and Africa.

With this collaboration, EGME aims to expand its role for the Middle East and Africa as the regional distributor of Yinlong’s e-mobility coupled with smart charging solutions from Hitachi Energy.

As part of the collaboration, Hitachi Energy will provide its smart charging solution for public transportation and commercial vehicles to the Abu Dhabi-based EGME, the manufacturer said in a press release. The compact electric charging solution is specifically developed for public and commercial vehicles. It is modular and scalable and will include a digital platform to support efficient energy and fleet management.

Hitachi Energy, Emirates Global Motor Electric and Yinlong Energy are working together to create a technology hub in the region to showcase e-mobility solutions to accelerate the evolution of the Middle East and Africa sustainable journey.

Hitachi Energy’s smart charging solution comprises two features: a grid-code compliant and space-saving grid-to-plug charging solution that can be installed in existing depots and scaled flexibly as the fleet gets greener; and a feature that enables operators to flash-charge buses within seconds at passenger stops and fully recharge within minutes at the route terminus, without interrupting the bus schedule. Both solutions are equipped with configurable smart charging digital platforms that can be embedded with larger fleet and energy management systems.

Hitachi Energy’s solutions are already operating or under development in the Middle East, Europe, Australia, China, India and Pakistan.
