Battery system designed to revolutionize rail transport by enhancing efficiency, sustainability and autonomy  

Already used by leading companies, this advanced technology captures, stores and reuses braking energy, providing a reliable source of power for trains, especially on non-electrified lines.    

By integrating this advanced battery technology, rail operators can achieve significant energy savings and reduce their environmental footprint, paving the way for a more sustainable future in rail transport. 

Key Benefits:

  • Sustainability: Reduces reliance on fossil fuels and decreases emissions, contributing to a greener environment.
  • Efficiency: Enhances energy efficiency by reusing braking energy, leading to lower operational costs.
  • Versatility: Suitable for both modern electric trains and older diesel-powered trains, offering a seamless transition to hybrid traction.
  • Reliability: Ensures continuous power supply on non-electrified tracks, improving the overall reliability of rail services.
  • Power: Saft’s LTO technology delivers the amount of power throughput required by regional trains during their daily commute.
