Electric propulsion system and overhead line test track design for high floor trolley bus

Development of environmentally friendly vehicles increasingly attracted the attention of almost all countries in the world, including Indonesia. There are various types of environmentally friendly vehicles, such as electric vehicles, hybrid, and fuel gas. The Electric vehicle has been developed in Indonesia, a private or public vehicle. But many electric vehicles had been developed using the battery as a power source, while the battery technology for electric vehicles still constraints in capacity, dimensions of the battery itself and charging system. The Trolley bus is one of the electric buses with the main power source of the network catenary/overhead line with trolley pole as the point of contact. This paper will discuss the design and manufacture electrical system and overhead line (OHL) test track in Trolleybus.
