In this context, the Rouen Normandie metropolis has embarked on an ambitious project: retrofitting 49 Crossway gas buses into electric buses for school use. To carry out this project, they have teamed up with some excellent partners, including Comeca, a specialist in ultra-fast charging and supplier of charging stations for the metropolis. In this article, we'll explore the details of this groundbreaking order in France and the technological advances that make it possible. ![Schema retrofit autocar Rouen Greenmot Comeca Forsee Power SPL](https://blog.comeca-group.com/hs-fs/hubfs/E-mobilite/Images%20IRVE/Schema%20retrofit%20autocar%20Rouen%20Greenmot%20Comeca%20Forsee%20Power%20SPL.jpg?width=1110&height=400&name=Schema%20retrofit%20autocar%20Rouen%20Greenmot%20Comeca%20Forsee%20Power%20SPL.jpg) Comeca is a major player in mobility and was selected for its technological advancements in ultra-fast charging. Previously involved in projects to purchase new electric vehicles, Comeca is now participating in a project to convert gasoline vehicles to electric. This process, known as retrofitting, is an ecologically and financially attractive alternative for major French cities and beyond. The Rouen Normandie metropolis has chosen to retrofit part of its existing bus fleet instead of buying new vehicles, reflecting its commitment to sustainable development. Comeca, already a supplier of charging stations for the metropolis, is proud to participate in this French project alongside [Greenmot](https://www.greenmot.com/en/), [Forsee Power](https://www.forseepower.com/), and [SPL](https://www.splcarsetbus.fr/). With its design and production of recharge solutions in France, Comeca is a true local partner. This two-year project will be the first successful example of French collaboration in the field of retrofitting and energy transition. Comeca is very pleased to renew its collaboration initiated in 2022 and to participate in this new project, which shows the Rouen Normandie metropolis' commitment to sustainable development and energy transition.   [![Discover our integrated solutions for electric vehicles](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/5464586/55801481-da5d-498d-9008-e467e1c0146f.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/5464586/55801481-da5d-498d-9008-e467e1c0146f) Tags: [Electric mobility](https://blog.comeca-group.com/en/tag/electric-mobility), [Case study](https://blog.comeca-group.com/en/tag/case-study) [Back to Blog](https://blog.comeca-group.com/en) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ## Related Articles ## [Comeca supplies cooling units for the nuclear sector](https://blog.comeca-group.com/en/comeca-supplies-cooling-units-for-the-nuclear-sector?hsLang=en) Comeca has been chosen to manufacture the cooling units and Terminal Units for the HVAC and...
