Simply reliable: e-Line™ on-board pantographs for e-Mobility
Fewer components, less prone to defects: the e-Line charging pantographs from Siemens intentionally use a simple mechanism to position the charging head. Thanks to the small number of components, the charging pantograph is lightweight and requires little maintenance. In addition to its simple design, the charging pantograph highlights full compensation of kneeling and parking inaccuracies.

Connecting you to the green future of transportation
To ensure that your passengers get from A to B reliably, electric vehicles in public transportation need a reliable supply of charging power. The flexible mounting of the charging head on the lifting mechanism compensates 100 percent of the kneeling movement of the bus to either side. This means that the charging head of the pantograph always remains ideally aligned with the charging hood – for both left- and right-hand drive vehicles. In addition, the lifting mechanism with two parallel guide rods ensures that any vehicle parking inaccuracies are fully compensated. This guarantees an optimal charging process at every stop.
Innovative and reliable charging
Compelling in all its details
Safe operation
The 4-pole system (DC+, DC–, PE, CP) ensures safe operation of the automatic contacting system according to EN 50696.
Reduced costs
Fewer components reduce weight, energy consumption, maintenance requirements and costs
Whisper-quiet operation
Thanks to the sophisticated interplay of geometry and choice of materials, the system is the quietest in its class.
Always ready to operate
With the optional automatic self-lowering feature, the bus remains operatable – even if the power supply to the pantograph fails.
Simple, reliable charging
The system fully compensates for parking inaccuracies and ensures a reliable charging process even under extreme temperatures.
Assured charging
Full compensation of kneeling to both sides prevents loss of contact during charging and permits use on both left- and right-hand drive vehicles.
