Frequently Asked Questions about Bus Traction Systems (FAQ)
A traction system includes all components responsible for the electric propulsion of a bus—typically the traction inverter, the electric motor, a control system, and the control software. These systems convert electrical energy into mechanical movement, enabling the vehicle's propulsion.
The traction inverter converts direct current (DC) from the battery or overhead line into alternating current (AC) for the drive motor. It regulates torque, speed, and enables the recovery of braking energy (regeneration).
