- Park & Ride Cluj-Napoca is the largest parking hub in the area
- ABB supports the development of sustainable transportation
- The new “Park & Ride” facility located close to the Avram Iancu International Airport, offers over 800 parking spaces, including dedicated spots for electric and hybrid vehicles
ABB Romania supplied the necessary equipment for the ‘Park & Ride” Project which was finalized by Promlek XXI, with the support of Ianus SRL Zalau.
“Park & Ride” is the largest parking in Cluj-Napoca, having a total capacity of 850 parking spots. The facility is designed to support seamless integration with public transportation, allowing users to park their vehicles and easily transfer to buses and other public transit options, while their electrical cars are charged and ready for a new trip. This encourages the use of public transport and reduces traffic congestion in the city center.
The successful implementation of the "Park and Ride" e-mobility project, aims to enhance urban mobility and promote sustainable transportation solutions in the Cluj-Napoca area. This initiative is a significant step towards reducing the city's carbon footprint, encouraging the use of electric vehicles (EVs).
As part of this project ABB delivered, in partnership with Promelek XXI, a number of 5 ABB Terra DC 120 kW, as well as 20 ABB Terra AC 22 kW charging stations. Each Terra DC charging station can charge 2 electric vehicles simultaneously at a power of 60 kW each, or one vehicle at 120 kW.
Due to limited availability of power in the area, an ABB Terra Gateway equipment was implemented for smart power management and to optimize the energy distribution, preventing at the same time the network overcharge. The system insures a fast, balanced charging system, providing the users a safe and intuitive experience.
"We are happy to contribute to Cluj-Napoca's green initiatives. Our advanced charging stations are designed to meet the growing demand for electric vehicle infrastructure and support the city's sustainability goals."- said Mioara Brasoveanu, Vice President Commercial, Electrification ABB Romania.
“Park & Ride Cluj-Napoca is a landmark project for sustainable urban mobility, and Promelek XXI is honored to have been part of this initiative. Through our collaboration with ABB and the other partners involved, we successfully delivered a complete, efficient, and safe charging solution for electric vehicles. We strongly believe that such projects contribute significantly to transforming cities into greener and better-connected communities. We would like to thank all those who made this achievement possible and reaffirm our commitment to supporting the transition towards a sustainable future.” – said Karoly Nagy, General Manager Promelek XXI.
The availability of fast and reliable charging stations ensures that electric vehicle users can charge their vehicles quickly and efficiently, making electric mobility a more viable option for daily commuting.
