Site Visit – Tour 1
Oslo Electric Construction site in action – City of Oslo
Available seats: 48
Klosterenga park is a unique project for the city of Oslo for several reasons. It was one of the first fully commercial tenders where the winning contractor offered 100% zero emission construction and transport, and the list of machines is impressive including several prototypes.
It is also the biggest art investment made by the city since the famous Vigeland Park, and the artist Bård Breiviks sculptures are designed for a stream (Hovinbekken) to flow through. Reopening another section of this stream that has been closed in underground pipes is another environmentally positive aspect of this project.
The Project manager will meet you on the bus and give some more background, while the bus takes you to the site for a tour.

Oslo City Hub and electric passenger ferries– City of Oslo
Available seats: 48
The area besides the City hall harbour is a historical central traffic hub and interchange for Oslo. Originally all traffic passing the city center of Oslo was channeled past the town hall.
Today, a tunnel 50 meters below the town hall funnels the main flow of traffic unnoticed underneath the city, minimizing surface traffic and allowing pedestrians and cyclists to be safely prioritized in the bustling Norwegian capital.
The electric passenger ferries from the town hall pier transport commuters emission-free to the neighboring islands and towns across the fjord.
The Oslo City Hub is an emission-free postal center for the city of Oslo. This postal terminal is used by Norway Post, DHL, and DB Schenker.

Bus charging facility– City of Oslo
Available seats: 48
The City of Oslo started electrification of their buses with a pilot project with 6 electric buses in 2017. The following year, over one hundred electric buses were in ordinary operation, with an ambition to replace all buses in the City of Oslo and Viken County by 2028.
Now, only 3 years after, the transition to an all-electric fleet for city buses is on track to be completed already in 2023. In this short history of bus electrification, the operators have tested out different concepts for bus charging.
This site visit will take you to two different bus depots, Alnabru and Stubberud, and how the concepts of charging buses have been through a long journey in a short time, and how this has influenced the physical layout at the bus depots.
