Liguria region can boast of a good record, and in particular the city of Savona. Starting tomorrow, it will start a new service with the first electric bus is able to recharge wirelessly directly to the bus stop, then wireless. This is an experimental project: the buses will recharge for electric induction through special plates that can be installed at bus stops and at the terminus. The charge, therefore, takes place without the need for cables or electrical outlets. Everything has been developed by Bombardier that Italy is waiting for the opening of a public notice in the Ligurian city in Italy to test the technology. Recharging starts when the driver stops him on a special plate, which is at the stops at the terminus. There are no changes in the length of the routes, as the bus is equipped with lightweight batteries that are recharged every time the driver stops the vehicle above the electric plates that are installed at bus stops and on arrival.

the undeniable positive impact on the environment: the aim, after all, is to improve the air quality of the Italian cities increasingly struggling with smog, pollution and particulate matter. From Savona, therefore, part of an important experiment that, if successful, could open the door to a new era in terms of public transportation in our country.
