Egged’s tens of bus depots are where buses start and end their daily journeys, get refueled or recharged, cleaned, inspected, secured, and maintained (either lightly or in an on-site or adjacent workshop facility). The efficiency, safety, and innovation within depots directly affect operational costs, vehicle availability, and the quality-of-service passengers experience the following day.
Note: please do NOT submit software solutions for depot/charging management systems.
What are
we looking for?
Solutions that can transform depot operations in areas such as:
1. Parking optimization: efficient space utilization, accident prevention tools for parking/departure, and driver-assist systems (only as a retrofit/aftermarket solution).
2. Fueling and charging efficiency: faster, safer, and more innovative processes for fueling and wired electric charging (excluding wireless charging).
3. Security: tools and systems that prevent sabotage and theft of equipment and fuel.
4. Safety: improved fire prevention, early hazard detection, and worker safety measures.
5. Conditions monitoring: real-time detection of vehicle failures such as tire pressure issues, fluid leaks, or other defects.
6. Informative signage & displays: for clearer monitoring, easy operations, instructions for depot staff and drivers.
7. Maximizing bus idle time: creative ways to utilize these stationary assets (outside of transport services).
