Schneider Electric, together with Invest Dej and Pluton IC (Ukraine), contributed to the modernization of the public trolleybus transport infrastructure in Vaslui. This collaborative initiative marks a significant step towards improving sustainable urban mobility and reducing carbon emissions, underscoring the company’s commitment to supporting a greener future in urban communities.

 

The modernization project, undertaken by Schneider Electric in collaboration with Invest Dej and Pluton IC (Ukraine), aims to transform the public transportation network of Vaslui by integrating advanced technologies and innovative solutions. This complex upgrade is based on the following key aspects:

  • Improving electrification: upgrading the electrical infrastructure for public transport, to optimize the circulation of trolleybuses.

 

  • Schneider Electric’s expertise in energy management will be leveraged to maximize the efficiency of the trolleybus fleet. Energy consumption will be monitored and optimized, resulting in reduced operational costs and a smaller carbon footprint.

 

  • Efficient management of medium voltage equipment and an increased level of safety for Trihal dry transformers and SM6 cells assembled by the licensed partner Invest Dej, by equipping them with temperature and humidity sensors. This ensures continuous and safe operation, preventing fires in the electrical installation, and reducing maintenance costs.

 

  • EcoStruxure Power Building Operation: The platform collects and analyzes data providing insights into performance, operational efficiency, and potential opportunities for improvement. In addition, the solution can detect and diagnose faults or anomalies, helping specialist personnel to identify problems at an early stage and take appropriate measures to prevent downtime or inefficiency.

 

“This modernization project is a successful one for us, considering the challenges we faced and managed to overcome together with our partners Invest Dej and Pluton IC (Ukraine). Thanks to the effective project management, all initial concerns about the risks associated with the events in Ukraine did not affect the implementation of the project, and its execution was carried out on time, with the final result exceeding all expectations,” says Lucian Enaru, Country General Manager Romania & Moldova Schneider Electric.

All DC equipment and the two prefabricated modules for mounting the equipment were manufactured at the Pluton plant in Zaporozhye, Ukraine.

The modernization project promotes innovation, sustainability and progress, transforming the public trolleybus transport infrastructure of Vaslui into a model of urban innovation.
