Enel X bus charging facility in Chile

Enel Group’s global business line for advanced energy solutions, Enel X, has launched an e-Bus division in the UK to manage charging infrastructure.

Since 2015, Enel X has delivered successful e-Bus projects in South America, Europe and the USA that serve around 3,000 e-Buses. Enel X has already developed, installed, and operates charging facilities at 27 depots globally. Each depot has been planned and installed in close cooperation with local authorities and transport operators and predominantly uses electricity procured from renewable sources. The organisation manages services such as demand response for approximately 7.7 GW of total capacity globally and 195 MW of installed storage capacity worldwide.

Michael Kent, e-Bus Business Development Manager at Enel X UK said: “UK cities, local authorities and transport operators have tough targets to decarbonise transport fleets. Using e-Buses powered by renewable energy can cut fleet carbon emissions to 0%. Our e-Bus service will support decision makers through the whole process from planning, funding options, vehicle procurement, infrastructure installation, monitoring, maintenance, and wider smart city services. We are excited to be able to offer our experience and service to the UK.”

Alessio Tizzanini, head of global e-Bus business development at Enel X said: “Enel X is the largest provider of e-Bus solutions in the world, outside China.”
