Vehicle Scheduling for Growing Electric Bus Fleets at Zugerland Verkehrsbetriebe

IVU Insider Insights with Patricia Kottmann, Head of Planning at Zugerland Verkehrsbetriebe. 

Transitioning to electric buses is a long-term process – and that holds true for Zugerland Verkehrsbetriebe as well. Every year, a new bus type is added to the fleet, each with different battery capacities and ranges. This makes vehicle scheduling highly demanding. Digital data analysis plays a central role in this: it enables the use of consumption and range data from the buses to improve planning and make the deployment of electric buses more efficient.
