Electrifying public transport involves far more than procuring new vehicles. Decisions regarding infrastructure, power supply, operations and financing can shape transport networks for decades. These topics will be at the centre of the 9th International IMC Trolleybus & eBRT2030 Conference, taking place in Lyon on 12 and 13 November 2026.
As an official partner, HESS is proud to support this important international industry event. The conference will bring together transport operators, public authorities, mobility planners, researchers and industry representatives to discuss current developments and proven solutions for electric bus systems.
Key topics include the design of electric transport systems, the integration of vehicles and infrastructure, requirements for power supply and depots, and the reliable operation of growing electric bus fleets. Case studies, expert presentations and panel discussions will provide valuable opportunities for knowledge sharing and professional exchange.
Lyon is a particularly fitting venue for the conference. Numerous HESS lighTram® 19 DC vehicles operate daily across the city, contributing to efficient, comfortable and sustainable public transport services.
The conference is aimed at professionals involved in public transport operations, transport authorities, consulting and planning organisations, research institutions, and the mobility and energy sectors. Participants will gain practical insights into current projects and future developments in electric mobility.
HESS looks forward to engaging discussions, valuable new perspectives and meeting customers, partners and industry colleagues in Lyon.
