Zero-emission vehicles by 2027

Transit Systems has built a dedicated in-house engineering capability to lead the transition to zero-emission buses. Our team brings together qualified civil, electrical and renewable energy engineers, covering the full scope of depot electrification, from site works and high-voltage infrastructure through to charging systems, solar and battery storage.

‍

This technical expertise is backed by an experienced bus operations workforce who understand what it takes to keep a network running every day. Together, they give us the right blend to design solutions that work technically and fit how our depots actually operate, so we can deliver electrification projects with confidence while keeping services on the road.

‍

With 454 ZEBs already received and infrastructure planned to support nearly 1,000 vehicles by 2027, alongside hydrogen bus projects in Victoria and South Australia, Transit Systems has demonstrated the capability to deliver and operate large-scale zero-emission transport infrastructure programs.

ZEB Infrastructure Lifecycle

Planning

The PLANNING phase establishes the pathway for successful depot electrification by assessing fleet requirements, energy demand, site constraints and network capacity. Transit Systems’ in-house engineering team navigates transport authorities, utilities, government agencies and industry partners to define charging strategies, infrastructure requirements, project sequencing, risks and investment priorities, ensuring projects are scalable, cost-effective and ready to progress into design and delivery.

Design

The DESIGN phase converts strategic planning into detailed, build-ready infrastructure solutions. Transit Systems’ engineering team engages with a broad range of stakeholders and technical specialists to support the design of charging infrastructure, electrical network upgrades, depot layouts and renewable energy systems that support safe, efficient and scalable zero-emission bus operations. The outcome is a fully coordinated design that enables successful project delivery and future fleet growth.

Constuct

The CONSTRUCT phase focuses on the delivery and commissioning of depot electrification infrastructure, including civil works, grid connections, HV and LV electrical systems, and the installation of charging infrastructure and renewable energy assets. Transit Systems coordinates a diverse network of suppliers, utilities, contractors and government stakeholders to safely deliver complex projects while maintaining depot operations and ensuring readiness for zero-emission bus services.

Complete

The COMPLETE + COMISSIONING phase ensures all depot electrification infrastructure is tested, integrated and ready for service. Transit Systems coordinates commissioning, operational readiness, training and handover activities to ensure charging infrastructure, electrical systems and supporting technologies operate safely, reliably and efficiently. The depot then transitions into business-as-usual operations, supported by ongoing monitoring and continuous improvement.

Monitor

The OPERATE + MONITOR phase focuses on the safe, reliable and efficient operation of depot electrification infrastructure. Transit Systems monitors charging performance, energy use, asset reliability and operational outcomes, using data-driven insights to optimise performance, improve efficiency and share lessons learned across the broader ZEB program to support future deployments.
