The Stadler Flirt Akku 3 is an example of a battery-powered multiple unit.
The Mosenas project aims to tailor battery size and weight for individual rail routes.
Stadler and the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) are working together to develop a modular, scalable battery system for multiple units that can be optimally adapted for typical rail route lengths.
The partners say this approach will enable a calculation of the best weight and size of battery needed to power a train over a given route, helping to make railway operations more…
