Solutions for local transport & mobility

Emission-free public transport starts with the right infrastructure! We deliver it.

East Energy Group

challenges
in public transport and mobility sector

Pressure to decarbonize

  • Federal and state governments call for emission-free bus and rail fleets

  • Driving bans and limits force action

  • No clear master plans in municipalities and companies

Charging and refueling infrastructure is missing

  • E-buses, eMethanol buses or hydrogen trains unusable without infrastructure

  • Power supply is often insufficient for fast charging points or charging stations

  • High entry costs & planning uncertainty

Network overload during parallel charging

  • Simultaneous charging of several vehicles overwhelms power connections

  • High load peaks lead to grid problems and expensive grid charges

Little know-how on energy supply and scaling

  • Transport companies rarely have energy expertise

  • Funding remains unused

  • Lack of partners for holistic implementation

Our solutions for
Local transport & mobility

Charging infrastructure for buses and trains

  • Planning & installation of depot and route loaders

  • Fast charging stations with buffer storage for grid stabilization

  • Integration of loading yards into depots or park-and-ride areas

eMethanol supply & filling stations

  • Development of eMethanol tank solutions for buses and special vehicles

  • Supply through own PtX production or PPA

  • Integration into existing depot infrastructure

Own energy supply

  • Construction of PV or wind power plants to supply the fleets

  • Combination with power storage for grid-friendly charging

  • Self-sufficient energy supply possible including grid replacement

Funding advice & project implementation

  • Funding advice for charging infrastructure, eFuels & vehicles

  • Technical planning, approval, project management

  • Operation & maintenance by us or together with partners

Typical application examples
in local transport & mobility

Electrification of a municipal bus depot

Solutions:

Construction of a charging station with several DC fast chargers, a load management system, a PV system on the depot roof, and battery storage for grid stabilization. Optional: Integration into the existing EMS.


Result:

E-mobility with a stable, 24/7 energy supply. Up to 50% lower energy costs compared to diesel. Planning security through buffer capacity and self-generated electricity.

Integration of eMethanol as a fuel alternative

Solutions:

Installation of an eMethanol filling station at the depot for hybrid or methanol buses. Supply via green PtX methanol from in-house or external production. Safe storage operation with sensors and emergency shutdown.


Result:

Replacement of fossil fuels with the same range. No need to switch to high-voltage technology. Reduction of emissions with the same driving performance.

Charging infrastructure for municipal
E-vehicle fleets

Solution:

Construction of a charging park for municipal service vehicles and car-sharing services with PV power supply and intelligent load management. Access via RFID or app.

 

Result:

Fully electric operation of the fleet with predictable charging windows, maximum use of own energy, relief for the power grid. Scalable to other locations.

Power supply for electric trains on non-electrified lines

Solution:

Decentralized supply solution with eMethanol and battery hybrid technology at stops or depots. Combined with modular refueling infrastructure for autonomous route sections.


Result:

CO₂-neutral train connections without overhead line construction, significant investment savings, and rapid rollout possible. Funding through the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMDV) and state programs.

Our technologies in action

  • AC/DC fast chargers & pantographs
