1 ноя 2022 г. - (GERMANY) Baden-Württemberg study finds battery-hybrid trains best solution for decarbonization

Описание:

Working alongside several industry partners, Baden-Württemberg studied what the possible alternatives for diesel-powered vehicles were. The authority no longer plans to purchase any diesel-powered trains, so needs to find emission-free solutions for its 16 non-electrified routes.

Transport minister Winfried Hermann said, “In order for the country to achieve its climate targets in the transport sector, diesel drives must be a thing of the past on the rails as soon as possible. Since the construction of overhead lines takes a long time and is sometimes very expensive, trains with alternative drives are the method of choice on some railway lines. The study provided valuable insights in this regard.”

The question of electrification with an overhead line or vehicles with alternative drives was asked during the study for 16 route sections in Baden-Württemberg, which was awarded to a bidding consortium consisting of TransportTechnologie-Consult Karlsruhe (TTK), komobile (Vienna) and other partners. Three drive technologies were examined – battery hybrid trains, hydrogen hybrid trains and conventional electric trains.
