Volvo B5LH ESS Reconditioning

Altertek has been working with some of the largest operators of the Volvo B5LH bus to extend the life of its hybrid ESS unit.

We have developed a range of equipment and techniques that allows us to breathe life back into the B5LH ESS that has been deemed fit for disposal by the OEM.

In some cases our reconditioning has extended their operational life by many years and deferring an expensive B5LH replacement.

We offer a comprehensive service where we will collect an ESS from anywhere in the UK and bring it back to our Southampton headquarters for analysis.

Using our proprietary equipment we are able to plug into the ESS and analyse which (if any) of the cells or modules in the ESS require replacing.

Sometimes a cell(s) has failed and the module inside of the ESS will require replacing, but in the majority of cases without replacing a single cell we are able to breathe life back into the ESS at a fraction of the cost of a complete B5LH replacement ESS.

While the ESS is onsite we check a variety of parameters of the ESS to ensure it is electrically and mechanically sound before returning it back to your workshop all without you lifting a finger but saving you thousands of pounds in un-necessary ESS replacements.
