12 dic 2023 anni - (UK) Eversholt Rail funds three new battery-only Revolution Very Light Rail vehicles

Descrizione:

The new Revolution Very Light Rail vehicles will run entirely on battery power and could be carrying passengers within three years. A new system of lineside fast charging will mean the whole operation has zero emissions.

Some of Britain’s major rail operators are already showing interest in the RVLR vehicles as they seek to fulfil promises to make rail ‘cleaner’.

Eversholt Rail, one of the country’s leading rolling stock owning companies, has signed contracts with Transport Design International (TDI) to build three new Pre-Series vehicles for passenger trials in the UK.

These new vehicles will be built in the Midlands by TDI, with assembly commencing in 2024 and the first vehicle ready for passenger operation in 2026. RVLR’s modular design enables this rapid programme to be achieved with confidence.
