A fully electric bus depot, powered by connected infrastructure
In Gothenburg, a new kind of bus depot is taking shape.
At Transdev’s facility in Järnbrott, only electric buses are allowed inside. Rows of vehicles charge between shifts, workshops and planning functions operate under one roof, and every part of the operation is connected.
This is not just a depot. It is a glimpse of how future public transport will work.
But for everything to run smoothly, the physical infrastructure needs a digital backbone. That’s where Advania steps in.
Connecting every part of the operation
To support daily operations, Transdev needed a network that could handle everything from charging systems to planning tools and real-time monitoring.
In partnership with Advania and HPE Networking, a scalable and secure wireless network was designed and implemented across the entire site. The solution provides full coverage, from workshops to office environments, ensuring that systems communicate seamlessly.
For drivers and operational staff, this means faster access to information, automated charging, and better visibility across the depot.
“Having a connected network makes all the difference,” says Magnus Börjesson, Operations Manager at Transdev. “Everything becomes faster, smoother, and more reliable.”
A depot built for the future
The infrastructure is designed not only for today’s operations, but for continuous development. As the depot evolves, the network can scale with new requirements and technologies.
At the same time, sustainability is built into every layer of the solution.
Smart charging optimizes energy usage based on grid availability. Future plans include circular lifecycle management of IT equipment, ensuring resources are used efficiently over time.
A partnership that keeps operations running
The collaboration between Transdev and Advania goes beyond implementation.
Advania supports the depot with ongoing monitoring and development of the IT environment, ensuring stability, security, and continuous improvement.
For Transdev, this means having a partner that understands both the technology and the operational reality of running a modern transport system.
The result is a connected, efficient, and sustainable depot that shows how digital infrastructure can power the future of public transport.
