Charging infrastructure for battery-powered trains

Flash-charging for traction power supply

Hitachi Energy takes care of design, engineering, construction and commissioning of the complete charging infrastructure for mass urban transit applications and regional train lines.

Our portfolio includes charging stations at terminal, depot or at selected passenger stops, giving even a range of several km on a single flash-charge.

Hitachi Energy has developed an optimisation tool for cost-optimal deployment of a battery-powered transportation line. It helps railway operators in the process of finding the best trade-off between charging infrastructure and onboard battery.
