Porto do Pecém Thermal Power Plant in Ceará Introduces Buses Powered by Solar Energy

Thanks to EDP and the Porto do Pecém thermal power plant – a multinational energy company, the future of road public transportation powered by solar energy has arrived in Ceará. Controlled by Portuguese capital, EDP already has part of its workforce from the Porto do Pecém Thermal Power Plant using the 100% photovoltaic energy bus, which is operated by the vehicle rental company in Ceará, Gertáxi.

The model contains batteries that allow for a range of over 300 km and was born from an investment of over R$ 4.80 million.

The Idea for the Solar-Powered Bus Came from the Partnership Between EDP, Unesp, and Porto do Pecém

The main idea of using the vehicle based on photovoltaic energy originated from the partnership between EDP and Unesp. The physical design of the vehicle was developed by BYD Brazil, a Chinese company, which designed it on one of its chassis coupled with a vehicle body from the Marcopolo company.

The first vehicle in this line, fully powered by solar energy, is already in circulation between Fortaleza and Porto do Pecém (CIPP), transporting employees of UTE Pecém from EDP. There is no doubt that in about four years, these solar-powered vehicles will be circulating through the city streets, significantly reducing air pollution compared to today.

The Solar-Powered Bus Model Has 189 Photovoltaic Modules (Solar Panels)

The model’s batteries are recharged from a micro solar photovoltaic power plant located in the company’s parking lot.

The equipment, inaugurated in June this year, has 189 photovoltaic modules (solar panels), which are capable of generating around 104,600 kWh of electricity per year from sunlight.
