What the programme covers
Roof and floor systems
Removal plans cover roof-mounted strings lifted by crane and floor packs dropped on gantries.
String-level isolation
Each pack string is isolated, measured and labelled against the bus fleet number.
Heavy-crate transport
Packs move as individual crates on flatbed or curtain-side trailers with engineered restraint.
Second-life at scale
Uniform bus packs make well-matched storage strings, which lifts second-life value.
Depot scheduling
Work is planned around depot operating hours so service is not disrupted.
Transit authority reporting
Certificates and chain-of-custody records are formatted for public-sector audit requirements.

Grade and route
Uniform strings are graded for second life; the rest are refined.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to remove a bus battery system?
Typically a few hours per bus once lifting equipment is in place, planned around depot operating hours.
Are bus batteries good for second life?
Often, yes. Uniform LFP strings from the same fleet match well for stationary storage.
Do you need our lifting equipment?
We bring crane capacity where needed, but OEM lifting frames are usually required and should be available on site.
