Forsee Power expands its presence in the streets of the UK

StreetAir EV buses, soon to become a regular sight in London and Liverpool’s streets, embody one of the major needs of bus operators: no need to charge the battery during the whole day and a complete overnight charge.

The Wrightbus StreetAir EV single-decker is 10.6 meters long, equipped with a 300kWh battery and capable of covering up to 200 miles before charging is required.

“Forsee Power has been a battery supplier to Wrightbus since 2013 and our collaboration with this manufacturer encompasses the whole product range our company has developed for transport applications,” said Sébastien Rembauville-Nicolle, Forsee Power Transport & Storage Division Manager.

Our products allow us to satisfy all of the requirements in the Wrightbus Specification, and our three product ranges – Pulse, Flex, Zen – are or will soon be one of the battery offerings on the Wrightbus product range.

The foothold gained in the UK by Forsee Power through equipping StreetAir EV will enable us to consolidate our legitimacy in the international public transport market,” he concluded.

Pulse range 

The Pulse range (power range) developed by Forsee Power provides buses with the possibility of fast charging (3-5 mins at the station, 15-25 times per day). It can also equip Plug-in hybrid and fuel-cell busses.

Flex range 

With 150kwh of a Flex battery system, a battery can clock up over 200 miles a day thanks to intermediate opportunity charging. Wrightbus operates such a system in Milton Keynes with inductive charging system of 120kW, which enables the battery to be 40% recharged in 30 minutes) 

Zen range 

The Forsee Power Zen range provides even more energy (300-500 kWh) with less weight.
