Our organization's Solar Bus Kit to be dispersed by Hofmeister & Meincke
Solar-Powered Buses Take to the Streets of Germany and Austria
A new solution is revolutionizing public transportation in Europe, as companies like Hofmeister & Meincke and Sono Group N.V. introduce the Solar Bus Kit. This innovative technology harnesses the power of the sun to reduce fuel consumption and operational costs, promoting climate-friendly mobility.
The Solar Bus Kit is a retrofit solution designed for common 12-meter bus models such as the Mercedes-Benz Citaro and MAN Lion's City. The system includes lightweight, semi-flexible solar panels that seamlessly integrate onto bus roofs, a battery storage system, and a charge controller to manage energy flow efficiently.
Key benefits of the Solar Bus Kit include reduced fuel costs, lower maintenance and operational costs compared to traditional diesel buses, and a contribution to eco-friendly and sustainable city transportation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Each Solar Bus Kit can save up to 1250 liters of diesel and up to 3.3 tons of CO2 per bus per year.
Hofmeister & Meincke, a Bremen-based company and a reliable partner for commercial vehicle workshops, vehicle manufacturers, and industry throughout Germany, is one of the leading wholesalers on the German market for commercial vehicle parts and vehicle construction components. As part of the FRICKE Group, which is active in the international trade in spare parts, agricultural machinery, commercial vehicles, and garden technology in 27 countries, Hofmeister & Meincke is well-positioned to distribute the Solar Bus Kit nationwide.
Sono Group N.V., on a mission to make every vehicle solar, is the driving force behind the Solar Bus Kit's technology. The organization's disruptive solar technology can be seamlessly integrated into various vehicle architectures, extending range, reducing fuel costs, and lowering CO2 emissions. Denis Azhar, Managing Director of the organization, has expressed excitement about collaborating with Hofmeister & Meincke.
While the partnerships for distribution in Germany and Austria have not been specified, both companies are set to attend the InnoTrans 2024 and IAA Transportation 2024 international trade fairs for traffic technology and transportation sector. Here, they will showcase their innovative solutions and forge new partnerships to bring the Solar Bus Kit to more cities across Europe.
