Schneider Electric modernises trolleybus infrastructure in Vaslui

Alina Oprea
Schneider Electric, together with Invest Dej and Pluton IC (Ukraine), modernized the public transport infrastructure with trolleybuses in the city of Vaslui. This collaborative initiative marks a significant step towards improving sustainable urban mobility and reducing carbon emissions, underscoring the company's commitment to supporting a greener future in urban communities.

The modernization project, undertaken by Schneider Electric in collaboration with Invest Dej and Pluton IC (Ukraine), aims to transform the public transport network of the city of Vaslui.

The electrical infrastructure for public transport will be modernized to optimize the circulation of trolleybuses.

"Schneider Electric's expertise in energy management will be leveraged to maximize the efficiency of the trolleybus fleet. Energy consumption will be monitored and optimized, leading to reduced operational costs and a smaller carbon footprint," the company announced.

Medium voltage equipment will be efficiently managed and equipped with temperature and humidity sensors. "This ensures continuous and safe operation, avoiding fires in the electrical installation, and reducing maintenance costs," the company says.

The EcoStruxure Power Building Operation solution can also detect and diagnose faults or anomalies, helping specialist personnel to identify problems at an early stage and take appropriate action to prevent shutdown or inefficiency.

"Thanks to effective project management, preliminary concerns about the risks associated with the events in Ukraine did not affect the implementation of the project, and its execution was carried out in a timely manner, with the final result exceeding all expectations," says Lucian Enaru, Country General Manager Romania & Moldova Schneider Electric.

All DC equipment and the two prefabricated modules for mounting the equipment were manufactured at the Pluton plant in Zaporozhye, Ukraine.
