2 nov 2022 anni - (SCOTLAND) Ricardo’s rail industry experts look at the use of virtual reality for testing new H2 trains

Descrizione:

In partnership with Scottish Power, Network Rail Scotland and the University of Leeds, the firm is also working on the Holistic Hydrogen Approach to Heavy Transport (H2H) project, which will pilot the use of green hydrogen to test prototype hydrogen-electric trains with the eventual aim of replacing diesel trains on rural routes in Scotland by 2035 (read more about this project in the latest issue of Electric & Hybrid Rail Technology).

EHRT spoke to Ricardo’s Ilse Vermeij, product manager of testing, and Joanna Richart, head of the firm’s hydrogen business, to find out more about the company’s use of virtual testing for electric train approval and for calculating energy consumption, and how pantograph simulations helped one firm save around €300,000 in testing costs.
