BBG Eberswalde presentation on realising a regional hybrid trolleybus line with in-motion charging, tracing the path from the ELIPTIC project to TROLLEY 2.0 and summarising experience and lessons learned, including COVID-19 impacts.

ebusplan presentation on its software-based planning approach for electric bus systems, showing how technology choice and operational requirements interact in designing catenary-based and battery e-bus networks.

University of Gdansk cost-benefit analysis comparing diesel and electric/IMC trolleybus options for Gdynia’s network extensions, presenting a model with outputs (FNPV), cost structure and externality inputs.

TU Dresden presentation of a life-cycle assessment tool for clean bus technologies, comparing 30-year total costs of diesel, trolley and hybrid-trolley systems and showing how the share of electrified route determines cost-competitiveness.

UITP knowledge brief explaining in-motion-charging trolleybuses – charging while driving under the catenary – as a highly efficient city electrification solution where each km under wire enables 1-3 km off-wire.

Roadmap arguing hydrogen is essential to EU decarbonisation, able to supply roughly 24% of EU energy and abate about 560 Mt CO2 by 2050 if policymakers, industry and investors act now.

Policy paper guiding city authorities through urban bus sector reform – planning, procurement, regulation and financing – to deliver higher-quality, cleaner and more sustainable services.

English announcement of Dr. Wolfgang Backhaus as the new president of trolley:motion, succeeding Daniel Steiner, aiming to make trolleybus systems future-ready through in-motion charging and smart energy concepts.

Kündigt Dr. Wolfgang Backhaus als neuen Präsidenten von trolley:motion an, der den Gründer Daniel Steiner ablöst, mit der Vision, Trolley-Systeme mittels In-Motion-Charging und intelligentem Energiemanagement zukunftsfähig zu machen.

Ein Artikel in der FAZ bespricht zwei Studien (Ifeu/Agora Verkehrswende und Fraunhofer ISI), die zu dem Ergebnis kommen, dass Elektroautos über den Lebenszyklus einen CO2-Vorteil von 3-50 % gegenüber Verbrennerfahrzeugen haben, stark abhängig vom Strommix und der Batterieproduktion.
