VSD’s 75-inch double-sided outdoor display successfully installed in the e-BRT smart bus project in Bergamo, Italy

Published: May 2026

[Bergamo, Italy] Recently, VSD’s independently developed 75-inch double-sided high-brightness outdoor display was successfully deployed and officially put into operation as part of the e-BRT smart bus project in Bergamo, Italy, marking a significant step forward for VSD in the European smart transport sector.

The Bergamo e-BRT project is a major public transport infrastructure initiative heavily funded by Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and is also Italy’s first fully electric rapid transit system. The route connects Bergamo railway station with surrounding towns such as Darmin and Verdellino, covering a total distance of approximately 30 kilometres with 36 stops. It is equipped with 15 18-metre Yutong U18 all-electric articulated buses and is scheduled to commence full operations in July 2026. A key highlight of the project is the deep integration of digital platforms, intelligent signal priority systems and a centralised monitoring platform, all designed to provide citizens with fast, reliable and frequent transport services.

The 75-inch double-sided high-brightness outdoor display supplied by VSD for this project is a key component of the e-BRT smart platform system. Serving as the central interface for real-time information exchange at the bus stop, this product utilises its exceptional technical performance to display real-time bus arrival information, route updates, transfer guidance and public service announcements, thereby effectively enhancing the quality of public transport services and the passenger experience.

Technical Solution: Stable, All-Weather Operation Overcoming Outdoor Display Challenges

In response to the demanding outdoor operating conditions at bus stops, VSD has developed a highly reliable display solution tailored specifically for this project. The core technical specifications of the product are as follows:

3,000 nits high brightness: Utilising genuine LG high-brightness LCD panels, content remains clearly legible in direct sunlight, unaffected by strong glare;

IP65 protection rating: The entire unit is dustproof and waterproof, withstanding adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow and dust;

IK10 impact-resistant glass: High-strength glass panels effectively withstand accidental impacts and vandalism;

AG anti-glare coating: Reduces ambient light reflection, ensuring visual clarity from multiple viewing angles;

24/7 operation: Industrial-grade thermal management design supports uninterrupted continuous operation, suitable for the high-intensity usage scenarios of bus operations;

Remote CMS centralised management: Through a cloud-based content management system, it enables unified multi-screen scheduling, remote content publishing and real-time monitoring of operational status.

The dual-sided display design ensures information reaches passengers waiting both inside and outside the station, effectively enhancing information dissemination efficiency and space utilisation.

Customer Value: Advancing Smart Transport, Earning High Acclaim

Against the backdrop of the accelerating digital transformation of public transport worldwide, the implementation of the Bergamo e-BRT project has not only brought a smarter, more convenient and greener travel experience to local residents, but also provided a model for other European cities exploring the intelligent upgrading of bus rapid transit systems. VSD has successfully earned the project team’s high recognition and trust through its high-quality product performance, comprehensive system solutions and reliable service support.

VSD remains committed to providing global customers with high-performance, highly reliable outdoor commercial display solutions, with products widely applied in smart transport, digital signage, outdoor advertising and smart city sectors.
