El fabricante norirland\u00e9s de autobuses Wrightbus ha seleccionado a Voith como socio exclusivo para suministrar el sistema de propulsi\u00f3n el\u00e9ctrica de la segunda generaci\u00f3n de sus autobuses el\u00e9ctricos de bater\u00eda y pila de combustible para Europa.<\/p>\n
En el futuro, la empresa equipar\u00e1 de serie todos estos veh\u00edculos con el sistema Voith Electrical Drive System (VEDS). Seg\u00fan el anuncio, el primer gran pedido conjunto se entregar\u00e1 en agosto de 2021. A continuaci\u00f3n, Wrightbus tiene previsto entregar el primero de los 80 autobuses de dos pisos StreetDeck BEV con el accionamiento de Voith a Translink, el mayor operador de autobuses de Irlanda del Norte. Translink tiene previsto utilizar los nuevos autobuses de dos pisos en los sistemas de transporte p\u00fablico de Belfast y Derry.<\/p>\n
El proveedor alem\u00e1n afirma que ha desarrollado el VDES espec\u00edficamente para los requisitos del transporte p\u00fablico. Se dice que el motor el\u00e9ctrico de 340 kW puede conducir incluso autobuses de dos pisos, autobuses articulados pesados y camiones en largas distancias. El sistema tambi\u00e9n incluye un sistema convertidor refrigerado por agua, una unidad de gesti\u00f3n de la propulsi\u00f3n (denominada DMU), otros convertidores para unidades auxiliares y el sistema de gesti\u00f3n de la carga a bordo, incluido el cableado. Voith espera que esto d\u00e9 como resultado la mayor eficiencia posible, ya que todos los componentes est\u00e1n coordinados entre s\u00ed.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

According to the latest press release, this is one of the factors that tipped the scales in favour of the Wrightbus order. In the run-up to the order, the manufacturer from Ballymena “analysed all the electric drive systems available in Europe” – the VDES convinced them with the highest efficiency. “The limiting factor for battery-powered vehicles is the range,” says Brian Maybin, head of advanced technology at Wrightbus. “[…] the efficiency of the drivetrain is the crucial consideration in day-to-day operation. This applies even more to double-decker buses that only have limited space and a restricted weight capacity for additional batteries.”<\/p>\n
Voith had announced the VDES in 2017<\/a> and provided initial details of the drive system a year later<\/a>. In November 2020, the company also announced that Orten Electric-Trucks was also betting on the VDES.<\/p>\n Wrightbus had been forced to file for bankruptcy in 2019<\/a>, but was then taken over by the Bamford family of industrialists. Under the leadership of the Bamford Group, Wrightbus had won new orders (including 20 H2 double-deckers for Birmingham<\/a>) and was able to form new partnerships. The batteries, for example, are supplied by the French manufacturer Forsee Power in an exclusive partnership,<\/a>\u00a0similar to Voith’s propulsion system.<\/p>\n
