ABM Delivers Infrastructure Solution for New York City Electric Bus Initiative
September 09 2021 - 04:15PM
ABM (NYSE: ABM), a leading provider of facility solutions, has
initiated a project with the New York Power Authority to support
their electrification of New York City Transit (NYCT) buses and
planned reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. ABM has begun the
design and engineering phase of an electric bus charger
infrastructure project to prepare facilities for the next wave of
electric buses scheduled for Metropolitan Transportation Authority
(MTA) operations in late 2022.
“We’re breaking new ground here to help achieve
fundamental change in the transportation sector at a critical
stage,” said Mark Hawkinson, President of ABM Technical Solutions.
“These are some of the first bus depots to be fitted with overhead
charging pantographs in the northeastern United States, and ABM is
proud to contribute our charging infrastructure expertise to help
MTA meet their commitment to an all-electric bus fleet by
2040.”
Overhead chargers will be installed in bus
depots in Manhattan and Brooklyn, as well as additional chargers
and transformers in Brooklyn and the Bronx. ABM will also provide
maintenance on the charging equipment.
“These facilities weren’t originally designed
for this kind of technology,” said Dennis Doyle, Senior Vice
President of ABM Technical Solutions. “Our goal has been making
sure these major installations work with the existing building and
the MTA’s operational plans to efficiently and safely transition to
electric buses.”
ABM has installed more than 20,000 electric
vehicle (EV) charging ports in the U.S. and Canada. As a leading
installer of EV chargers, ABM designs and self-performs EV charger
installations, providing a turnkey solution that meets compliance,
safety, and sustainability goals for both public and private
entities.
