Opbrid

Opbrid makes the Opbrid Busbaar, a ultra high power charging station for electric and plugin-hybrid urban city buses.

@NoelDolphin Far easier to supply MCS ( Megawatt Charging System) chargers at existing roadside stops. Easier to scale, and easier for small operators to use. Overhead lines on highways was always a bad idea, and now also obsolete.

@FurrerFreyGB @railindustry Great to see the Voltap banner! And the little Lego men too.

@XanderVeitch @NoelDolphin I have the same question.

We've been at Wolverhampton Bus Station this week, surveying electrical connections ready for future OppChage Bus Charging. Electric buses at this great interchange. 🚍⚡

@NoelDolphin The oil and gas boys are happy to service your needs, just bend over and pull down your pants one more time while paying triple for the privilege.

This article summarizes the argument of batteries vs hydrogen for lorries, the same applies to battery vs H2 in trains in my opinion. Basically, H2 and other efuels should be reserved for situations where electrification isn't possible like aviation. https://t.co/edUKIrtUOd

Hugely exciting plans for Very Light Rail in Coventry, yet more innovation coming out of the Midlands🚃 @coventrycc

When leasing a car, is an EV or a diesel/petrol cheaper?

It’s time for leasing companies to tell consumers the Total Cost of Ownership

@FurrerFreyGB @IETawards @EandTmagazine @TheIET Very cool! Can't wait to see the VLR running with passengers!

Germany: @FurrerFrey and Tübingen municipal utilities company SWT are testing #Voltap, intended as a low-cost charging point which can be installed where needed to extend the range of battery trains https://t.co/DQwJWy8IoO

This makes the eHighway obsolete. https://t.co/kzd2OvcyDS

A global first, our Voltap has now rapid charged its first train. Charging under the wires on the mainline and topping up at the end of branch lines. It has taken several years work to go from a study, to a off-track trial to charging a real train.

@FurrerFreyGB If you zoom in, look for the "charging" signal!

[Opbrid @opbrid]

https://t.co/FMvmeYb2DH This is pretty amazing. Q > 1 in 3 years?

[Opbrid @opbrid]

@NoelDolphin Battery train maybe? Where is the closest ole?

[Opbrid @opbrid]

I think this sign needs updating? Simmental, Berner Oberland, Switzerland

Wind Turbine

[Opbrid @opbrid]

@NoelDolphin I doubt a train carrying batteries would do this..
