Project report: MPK Poznań

MPK Poznań, the city's municipal transport company, is pursuing a strategy to reduce emissions and is continuously investing in a climate-friendly fleet. MPK has been increasingly focussing on electric buses for several years now. These modern vehicles place special demands on maintenance and require a specially adapted technical infrastructure. The fleet is supplemented by conventional diesel buses, which continue to be used in some areas. In order to optimise the maintenance of the buses, the company has extensively rebuilt the depot in Warszawska Street. The KRAUSE team developed and installed a fully automatic work platform that is designed for both the electric and diesel buses.

More efficient maintenance thanks to flexible working platform

The project at the MPK depot presented the KRAUSE team with various challenges:

Versatility of the work platform: The design had to be able to accommodate different types of buses with different dimensions. The platform also had to be flexible enough to be able to service both electric and diesel buses safely and efficiently.

Efficient use of space: The space available in the depot was limited. Precise measurements and careful planning ensured that the work platform was optimally integrated into the existing building.

Coordination with other project participants: The installation of the work platform had to be coordinated with other construction and installation processes, which meant that the work had to be carried out in several phases and over a period of several weeks.
