DENMARK - The charging stations are direct current fast chargers with functions for smart charging.

Vattenfall has announced that they have delivered 32 fast chargers to Tide Bus in Denmark's fifth-largest city, Vejle. The delivery is Vattenfall's first Power-as-a-Service project for passenger transport in Denmark and means that electric buses are now running in the city.

According to the company, Vattenfall is responsible for both the charging solution and the purchase and supply of electricity. Vattenfall has invested in, designed and constructed the electrical infrastructure and is now operating it.

"We are very proud that Tide Bus chose Vattenfall to develop and manage the operation of the fast chargers for its buses. In addition to producing fossil-free energy, we also help the transport sector and other industries to replace oil, gas and coal with electricity. Exactly what the city of Vejle and Tide Bus have done", says Esben Baltzer Nielsen, Head of Vattenfall Network Solutions in Denmark and the Netherlands.

The charging stations are direct current fast chargers with functions for smart charging. Vattenfall's electricity supply to the buses is based on a spot price model.

"We collaborated with Tide Bus Denmark to produce a simulation of the buses' traffic patterns, and then we were able to design a charging system that was perfectly adapted to the buses' needs", says Esben Baltzer Nielsen.
