Končar set to build Zagreb's biggest 24-7 electric bus hub

Zagreb is getting a massive electric bus charging hub. Koncar scored the contract to build it, a deal worth over seven and a half million euros without tax. This facility will eventually power up to 124 buses around the clock, marking a huge step for the city's green transit goals. The price came in way under the original estimates that allocated more than twenty-one million.

The whole project will be handled by Koncar alongside partners like its division Koncar Digital and a German firm called TSG. Money comes from a national recovery plan through the Economy Ministry. Once finished at the Podsused site, this terminal will be the biggest of its kind nationwide. Construction must not interrupt existing bus services there.

Other companies wanted the job but lost out. A group with Riko and Duplico offered a bid of nearly eight million. Hitachi Energy proposed ten point two four million, and Intis Engineering asked for eleven and a half million. Koncar got picked for presenting the best value overall.

Their charging equipment covers various power needs. Alternating current units offer different power levels, some capable of fueling two vehicles simultaneously. Direct current chargers are built with modular fifty-kilowatt units that can scale up massively. A smart system manages power distribution across outputs to maximize efficiency. These DC setups include both central stations and satellite units for the buses.
