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.
