jan 5, 2023 - (UK) Siemens & University of York working on trains powered by sunshine

Description:

Siemens Mobility, the University of York and British Solar Renewables have won two separate funding streams to try and develop new ways of powering the railways in the United Kingdom

The first contract will help Siemens Mobility complete the final stages of technical development to feed solar energy directly to trains. With the funding coming from the DfT via Innovate UK’s First of A Kind programme, this feasibility study intends to solve the engineering incompatibilities that have stopped renewables feeding 25kV trains to date. There are plans to demonstrate trains running with solar power on the East Coast Main Line in 2023.
