Nauru prepares for electric buses

Five mechanics take part in repair and maintenance training in Anhui, China, through Supporting Mainstreamed Achievement of Roadmap Targets on Energy in Nauru (SMARTEN) initiative, 13-17 May.

 

As two electric buses are currently being procured from the China-based manufacturing company Ankai, SMARTEN's long term sustainability plans requires that there should be local based staff capable of maintaining the buses.

The team was given a comprehensive tour around the Ankai factory, inspected the construction line and witnessed the assembly process. The tour offered the team the opportunity to ask questions and better understand the factory's management systems.

 

The team also received further training at Ankai's main workshop where they learned about the various components of the buses such as the electricals and pumps. The team was also briefed on the standard procedures and checks for the buses, to ensure safety.

 

SMARTEN's Project Assistant Kawaii Deiye said the team's experience in the training has been very insightful, and that it will benefit Nauru in terms of minimising costs of getting overseas professionals to maintain Nauru's buses, as it transitions into renewable energy for infrastructure and transport.

 

The training also falls in line with SMARTEN's long term goals for increasing capacity building within the renewable energy sector.

 

Each bus can accommodate 17 passengers, is lightweight and run entirely on electricity. They have low energy consumption rates and produce almost no direct pollution, making them environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional buses which run on fossil fuels.

The buses will come with their own charging station and will be managed and maintained by the Department of Transport. The buses will be tested in Nauru to ensure their functionality and fulfils their technical specifications.

 

The charging stations have arrived and the buses will be ready for the assembly line in August.
