ZES opts for a turnkey package with Docking Solu�ons, Discharge Sta�on and Charging Sta�on from Ebusco

All-electric mobile shore power installa�on boosts the electrifica�on of inland shipping

Deurne, 29 August 2023 - Ebusco (Euronext: EBUS), a pioneer and leader in the development of electric buses, batery storage and charging systems, has secured a total of three new orders from ZES. These include a Discharge Sta�on, Charging Sta�on and up to fi�een Docking Sta�ons. Consequently, Ebusco contributes to a turnkey solu�on for the electrifica�on of the inland shipping industry.

Zero Emission Services B.V. (ZES) supplies interchangeable energy containers for new and exis�ng inland vessels. These energy containers, so-called 'ZESpacks', are used to power ships and can easily be replaced at one of the exchange and charging sta�ons once empty.

Although ZES had previously purchased energy containers, the company s�ll needed a charging solu�on. Following a tender process, ZES therefore awarded a contract to Ebusco to supply ten Docking Solu�ons, with an op�on for five more. The Docking Solu�ons will be deployed to charge ZESpacks, allowing them to power vessels during transit.

Peter Bijvelds, CEO of Ebusco, commented, "After an extensive tender process, we are delighted to be working for ZES once again. We already have significant experience with heavy-duty batteries in the bus industry and are proud to now apply this knowledge to the electrification of inland shipping. By combining our knowledge, we will ensure that the sustainability of shipping gains momentum."

Plug-and-play solu�on: all-electric mobile shore power installa�on

Besides a charging solu�on, ZES was also looking for a way to provide shore power to ships during loading/unloading. For this, the choice fell on an Ebusco Discharge Sta�on in combina�on with a Charging Sta�on. The shore power facility consists of a 20-foot container containing electrical equipment, which can be used to supply ships with power during loading/unloading.

Remarkable is the fact that it is a plug-and-play solu�on. The Discharge Sta�on is not connected to the public electricity grid, but used in combina�on with energy containers, allowing the sta�on to be moved easily. The six ZESpacks required for this purpose can in turn be charged by the Charging System, which can charge several energy containers at once via a 20-foot container.

When the complete solu�on from ZESpack to charging sta�on is not used for inland naviga�on, it can be used to balance the power grid. Balancing electricity supply and demand is essen�al to increase the resilience of the power grid as the share of renewables, with more variable output, increases.

Bart Hoevenaars, CEO of Zero Emission Services, adds: "We already know Ebusco as a reliable partner with a deep understanding of batteries and are therefore looking forward to collaborate once again. With the purchase of several Docking Solutions, a Discharge Station and Charging Station, we are taking

an important step towards a complete ecosystem for zero-emission shipping, taking us one step closer to zero emission."
