Comett Plus, the largest transportation company in Tábor, is making strides toward sustainable urban mobility by electrifying its bus fleet. The company has introduced 14 electric buses to operate across the Czech town and its region. The company’s goal is to electrify one-third of its fleet. The new electric buses are expected to cover nearly one million kilometres annually.
The electrification of the fleet is aimed at improving operational efficiency and offering a cleaner transportation alternative for 1.7 million annual passengers in South Bohemia. To support the transition, mainly two-arm Kempower Satellite charging stations were installed in two sites of the company.
Comett Plus collaborated with E.ON in the Czech Republic to develop this charging infrastructure, ensuring it meets the specific needs of electric buses. Kempower is a Finnish DC charging manufacturer focusing on all areas of e-mobility, from electric cars, trucks, and buses to machines and marine applications.
Comett Plus has many years of experience with low-emission public transport. Already in 2006, it included the first CNG buses in its fleet, which provided public transport for the agglomeration of Tábor.
