ABB will supply a 450KW Opportunity Charging (OppCharge) system to the city of Gothenburg as part of a contract awarded by Volvo Buses, Västtrafik and Göteborg Energi.

ABB will arrange two fast chargers at Sahlgrenska University Hospital and Eriksberg Square, the route along which two prototype electric articulated high-capacity buses will be operated during the Volvo Ocean Race in 2018.

The OppCharge automated charging system can be used for single and double-decker electric buses.
