For this year's annual World Economic Forum (WEF) taking place during January 23-26, 2018, the city of Davos and ABB have teamed up in a long-term partnership to provide e-infrastructure for public and private transportation.

Davos residents and WEF guests are experiencing the pioneering TOSA bus for themselves.

It can recharge its battery in just 20 seconds as passengers board and disembark. In Davos, it will operate on the busy Line 1, running from the tourist center to the hospital.

The idea is to run the system under extreme winter weather conditions; ABB and its project partners expect to gain valuable insights from this pilot project.
