6 FAQs about [Tram battery installation]

What is a battery powered tram?

The new technology is based on an onboard energy storage system (OBESS), with scalable battery capacity. It can be installed directly on the roof of existing trams - saving on costs, and visual impact – all while ensuring better environmental performance for a more sustainable society. In Florence, battery powered trams have been tested since 2021.

Does Hitachi Rail offer a battery-powered tram?

Hitachi Rail’s battery-powered tram technology offers the major benefit of requiring no electrified infrastructure. Our trams can operate on sections of routes with no overhead wires, such as historic city centres, like Florence, Italy, and offer range increase of up to 5km.

Can lithium batteries be used in a tramway?

The suitability of lithium batteries within a tramway environment is dependent upon the chosen battery chemistry, as there are a large number available, with differing capabilities in terms of performance, safety, and durability.

Are there battery powered trams in Florence?

In Florence, battery powered trams have been tested since 2021. Fitted to trams on the existing Sirio fleet, the battery technology enables the trams to operate on a section of the line entirely under battery power, without the use of overhead infrastructure.

How long should a tram battery last?

For reliable service, a tram should be built for 30-40 years. Saft sized the batteries to provide a lifetime of at least seven years, matching CAF’s maintenance intervals.

Why do nice's Citadis trams use battery power?

Nice’s Citadis trams use battery power to cross the Place Masséna instead of using overhead wires or a third rail. The city was keen to avoid the visual intrusion of overhead wires or the complexities of a third rail supply in historic squares. Image courtesy of N. Pulling
