FIFA World Cup 2022 host country Qatar has inaugurated the world's largest electric bus depot. Lusail depot has nearly 500 parking bays and 248 sets of charging equipment to accommodate 1,002 Chinese-made Yutong buses. The vehicles are fitted with 350kWh lithium batteries and have a range of 200 kilometres. The electric bus station relies on solar energy and includes some 11,000 PV solar panels to generate 4MW of power daily to supply its 24 buildings at Lusail City, north of Doha. The facility also has its own mosque for the 1,400 staff who work on the site. The technical infrastructure was supplied by Swiss company ABB. The Yutong buses will be used to ferry sportsmen and spectators between stadiums during the World Cup, which is scheduled to be played from November 20 to December 18. |
