6 FAQs about [Tram equipped with lead-acid batteries]

What is a battery powered tram?

The new technology is based on an onboard energy storage system (OBESS), with scalable battery capacity. It can be installed directly on the roof of existing trams - saving on costs, and visual impact – all while ensuring better environmental performance for a more sustainable society. In Florence, battery powered trams have been tested since 2021.

Does Hitachi Rail offer a battery-powered tram?

Hitachi Rail’s battery-powered tram technology offers the major benefit of requiring no electrified infrastructure. Our trams can operate on sections of routes with no overhead wires, such as historic city centres, like Florence, Italy, and offer range increase of up to 5km.

Does a tram have a battery pack?

A battery pack is the sole tram power supply and there is no battery charging at intermediate stations. For cases 1Up, 1Down, 2Up, and 2Down, when a tram is in the electrified zone (a zone with contact line), all tram power demands are drawn from the contact line, and also a battery pack is recharged.

What is the difference between a battery powered tram and a Bacl tram?

Compared to independently battery powered tram, battery size is reduced by 62.5%. Suggested applications for the BACL tram system are on short, fairly flat, idle lines with few stops.

What is a battery and accelerating-contact line hybrid tram system?

Extending the work presented in , this study presents a battery and accelerating-contact line (BACL) hybrid tram system where a tram accelerates drawing power from a short contact line (‘ACL’), which can be in the form of a catenary, overhead busbar or third rail. The tram then cruises drawing power from traction battery, as shown in Fig. 2b.

Why should you choose a battery-driven tram?

This will help to reduce the required traction power, energy, and consequently battery capacity. Owing to advancements in battery technology, battery performance has been improving while the cost is going down, this keeps increasing the attractiveness of a battery-driven tram on short and idle routes.
