eBUS DESIGN CHARTER
Take advantage of the
technological transformation to
generate a transformation of the
urban bus:
• serving a better customer
experience
• generating a status upgrade of
bus mode (for travelers,
operators, cities)

Predictive Maintenance
29 November 2017
Typically, around 80% of bus engine failures are related to oil contamination.
A new oil quality sensor combined with fine
filtration/evaporation equipment for predictive
diagnostic, able to:
• Reducing oil drain frequency and consumption
• Decreasing disposal costs
• Minimizing filter replacement
• Mitigating unpredictability in maintenance
operations
Ravenna
