BITZER, Konvekta and Solaris join forces for air-conditioned electric buses on the streets of berlin

Alternative drives is a major topic that has preoccupied the bus sector for years. Especially in the transit bus segment, the trend away from the classic internal combustion engine and towards electrically powered buses has long been a reality, including for Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), which in 2019 ordered new electric buses from bus manufacturer Solaris. But that wasn’t the only criterion. The electric buses also needed to feature CO2 as a refrigerant for cooling and heating – and Konvekta is one of the leading and most experienced manufacturers in the field of bus air conditioning with CO₂, which is why the company puts its trust in reliable BITZER ECOLINE compressors for its CO₂ heat pumps.
