One important factor to consider is timetable planning. Sophisticated planning can reduce the number of journeys and therefore save fuel or, in the case of e-buses, electricity. MOBILE-PLAN allows planners to carry out their timetable, block and duty planning quickly, flexibly and taking into account operational priorities. Even more efficient and therefore even more energy-saving results are made possible by MOBILEopti2, the module for the integrated optimisation of blocks and duties. ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ [Imprint]( [Disclaime](r [Data Protection Declaration](  ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ [LinkedIn]( [X]( [Website]( ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter, you can [unsubscribe here](. ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ Images: INIT_Fabry, C-TRAN, AdobeStock ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­
