SWEDEN • 30 000 inhabitants
Landskrona • Commuting town (to Lund, Malmö, Helsingborg)
3 SlideIn • 2014-09-24 • Casablanca • Jesper König Landskrona city bus net
Red line: Trolley bus (3 km)
Other lines: Bio gas (methane)
4 SlideIn • 2014-09-24 • Casablanca • Jesper König The SlideIn bus operates on three lines
The SlideIn bus operates in a loop
”Online” charging (3+3 km):
On battery (9 km):
5 SlideIn • 2014-09-24 • Casablanca • Jesper König Connection to the grid (video)
6 Advantages compared to plug-in
Gentler treatment of the batteries – softer charging
Fewer vehicles
No rocket science – existing technology used
Existing infrastructure (wires) can cover larger area
7 SlideIn • 2014-09-24 • Casablanca • Jesper König Purpose of the SlideIn test in Landskrona
• Show that driving and charging at the same time works • Study battery performance • Provide an alternative for cities with trolley bus infrastructure • In summary Provide an alternative for cities Show that you can wanting electric transport but have electric traffic not wanting cables everywhere in an entire area by only electrifying the main roads 8 SlideIn • 2014-09-24 • Casablanca • Jesper König Inspiration to SlideIn: Electric higways

Konya, Turkey 13 SlideIn • 2014-09-24 • Casablanca • Jesper König Test of the SlideIn bus on a tram line?
• Possibly in 2015 • Electric connection to the rail needed (minus- pole)
14 SlideIn • 2014-09-24 • Casablanca • Jesper König Evaluation plans
• Data from the power system collected 10 times per second • Battery performance and vehicle performance of key interest • Comparison after, 12 and 24 months of operation
15 SlideIn • 2014-09-24 • Casablanca • Jesper König Results: first year
• Behaves as expected
• Plug-and-play. Bus in operation 5 days after delivery
• Heating system requires half of the energy used (winter)
• 40-60 % of battery capacity remains after 9 km ”offline”.
• No interruption of service due to tecnhichal issues
