BYD and electric buses

by
BYD 12M Pure Electric Bus

In the course of climate change and developments in traffic, e-mobility is nowadays widely discussed.

This way e-cars can make a big contribution to the energy transition. It is no wonder that the number of electric vehicles is increasing. And this not only applies to the private sector. Also in the public sector buses with electric drive are being increasingly used.

“Mounting systems” blog series part 8: design – when the visual appearance matters

by

When photovoltaics originated homeowners decided to use solar energy and install their own PV roof system with the conviction of sustainable and green power generation.
