In Motion Charging Trolleybus as an Electric Bus Solution

IMC is based on proven trolleybus systems that are largely standardised and operating in almost 300 cities across the world. Global standardisation allows trolleybuses from any bus manufacturer to operate in any city worldwide. Battery electric trolleybuses with In Motion Charging (IMC) are highly effective technology with huge economic and environmental potential: High passenger capacity, an infinite range, uninterrupted 24/7 operation, the flexibility of off-wire service and energy-efficient emission-free travel. IMC is particularly suited for high-pace, high-volume operations, such as long vehicles operating at high frequency or at elevated commercial speeds on electric bus rapid transit (e-BRT) routes, in challenging environments requiring strong air conditioning or heating.

The course is aimed at providing an overview of best practices and solutions of in motion charging systems and trolleybus. This training is open to all relevant learners and will be delivered via 7 online sessions of 2 hours across 2 weeks from.

• Learn from the experts on basics of onboard in motion charging technology, as well as energy management trolleybus infrastructure
• How to be able to plan and develop in motion charging trolleybus operations
• How to define and implement the procurement and commissioning process as well as promotion activities
• Allow exchange of knowledge by tapping on UITP’s international expertise
• Provide a conducive platform for networking opportunities and interaction amongst participants

• Staff from Bus transport operators or authorities
• Staff from the industry worldwide involved in the market uptake in this area
• Professionals from Bus planning operations, engineering, finance departments
• Professionals interested in obtaining a wider and international perspective on this topic and eager to learn more from best practice worldwide

• Get inspired by our trainers, understand the main concepts and learn from successful best practice
• Participate in interactive plenary sessions with introductions by course leaders, presentations by trainers and open discussions with participants
