Electric buses are coming more and more popular around the world. Economic efficiency and reliability are the most important factors in becoming succesful with them.
Charging electric buses is more than just electricity - and Virta's service helps you operate electric bus charging reliably.
With Virta's bus charging service you can:

“With Virta’s system we can easily monitor the status of chargers and get information of their performance", says Mikko Holopainen, Project Manager at Turku Energia.
"The system is used in daily operations to review energy consumption, charging times and most importantly possible problems. As electric buses and their chargers represent new technology, Virta’s systems have helped to improve the up-time of chargers“, Holopainen continues.
