From challenge to success Irizar e-mobility is committed to turnkey electromobility solutions with the aim of offering sustainable, efficient, accessible, safe and connected public transport. In this context, the Irizar Group’s strategy is particularly important as it promotes innovation and the creation of its own technology in strategic sectors which form the basis for pioneering solutions that have a positive impact on the development of cities, society and the economy. Hence, its active commitment to the environment, the wellbeing and health of people and to the creation of better urban environments with a special emphasis on reducing emissions, noise pollution, and increasing efficiency, in low consumption that has an impact on lower costs. The challenges, now generating success in the implementation of electromobility solutions of the Irizar Group, serve as experience on this path towards sustainable and smart urban mobility for the future.
Schaffhausen, a unique project in Switzerland and Europe Thanks to the contribution made by the solutions of the Irizar Group companies, Irizar e-mobility and Jema energy, Schaffhausen will begin the electrification of the public network of its city, and will become the example for Switzerland. This is a unique project in Switzerland and Europe because the energy needed for the charging stations will be generated in the river Rhine as it passes through the city. In addition to this ambitious challenge, the entire charging infrastructure must be adapted to a very limited space with difficult access, as the infrastructure is buried. The first of a total of 15 Irizar ie tram electric buses have been delivered and the slow charging stations with a power of 50 kW have been installed in garages and the 12 opportunity fast charging stations of 600 kW have been distributed in the main street of the city thus meeting the challenge of minimising charging to less than 5 minutes, as required by the city council. Chargers with a smart charging system in garages will offer nighttime vehicle charging and battery voltage balancing.
