Client Overview: Transdev – Leading the Future of Sustainable Mobility

As a world pioneer in mobility solutions, Transdev is committed to offering effective and environmentally sustainable transportation services everywhere. With an emphasis on cutting carbon emissions and using sustainable technologies, Transdev transports millions of passengers daily across 17 countries. Transdev was looking for a partner to help lower its operational energy usage by incorporating renewable energy solutions into its transportation infrastructure as part of its commitment to a greener future.

The Challenge: Cutting Energy Expenses and Carbon Emissions

Transdev sought a creative way to lower electricity costs and lessen its carbon footprint because of its enormous fleet of buses and depots, which use a lot of energy for everyday tasks like maintenance and charging electric cars. Their objective was to continue providing passengers with dependable services while integrating renewable energy without interfering with their business operations.

The Solution: Rayco Eco’s Tailored Solar Energy System

Rayco Eco stepped in to design a customized solar power solution that aligned with Transdev’s sustainability objectives. Our approach involved:

1. Solar Panel Installation on Bus Depots:
   We installed high-efficiency solar PV systems on the rooftops of Transdev’s bus depots. These panels generate clean, renewable energy, which powers various depot operations, including charging electric buses, lighting, and maintenance equipment. By utilizing the available roof space, Transdev could harness solar energy without additional land use, making the solution both space and cost-efficient.
2. On-Board Solar for Electric Buses:
   To further optimize energy use, Rayco Eco provided solar solutions for Transdev’s electric buses. Solar panels were installed on the roofs of the buses, powering auxiliary systems such as lighting, air conditioning, and passenger charging stations. This allowed the buses to save energy, improve battery life, and reduce reliance on external power sources.
3. Battery Storage Integration:
   Our solar systems included advanced battery storage, enabling Transdev to store excess energy generated during the day. This stored energy could be used during off-peak hours or on cloudy days, ensuring a consistent power supply for depot and bus operations. This not only reduced energy costs but also improved operational resilience.
4. Energy Monitoring and Maintenance:
   Rayco Eco’s solution came with real-time energy monitoring systems to track solar production and consumption. This allowed Transdev to optimize energy use, avoid unnecessary wastage, and monitor the health of the solar panels for predictive maintenance.

Results: Substantial Savings and Enhanced Sustainability

Transdev’s collaboration with Rayco Eco produced the following significant results:

1. Energy Cost Reduction: Because of the solar systems that were put in place throughout its depots and buses, Transdev saw a considerable drop in its electricity costs. The transition to renewable energy decreased operating expenses and the requirement for grid electricity.
2. Environmental Impact: By implementing the solar solution, Transdev significantly decreased its carbon emissions, strengthening its dedication to sustainability and helping to create a cleaner environment.
3. Operational Efficiency: By enabling Transdev’s depots and buses to function effectively even in the absence of sunlight, the battery storage system increased the dependability of their transportation services.
4. Enhanced Green Credentials: Transdev improved its standing as a pioneer in sustainable mobility by incorporating solar energy into its operations, which matched well with passengers and stakeholders.

Conclusion: Driving Sustainable Mobility with Rayco Eco

Rayco Eco’s solar solutions enabled Transdev to achieve its green energy goals while maintaining efficient operations. Our tailored approach provided a reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solution that set a new standard in sustainable transportation. As Transdev continues its journey toward a zero-emissions future, Rayco Eco remains committed to supporting its renewable energy needs.
