Swiss Road Trains

Technology

The train is based on two technologies:

Electricity

With its 40kW Batteries the train delivers enough power for a 4 to 5 hour drive without the need two change the batteries. With a simple procedure the operator is able to change the batteries with a charged set. This way, within two minutes, the train is ready for another complete drive, allowing a maximum operation of 10 hours per day (batteries are charged during the night).

Photovoltaic

The complete roof of the train features photovoltaic solar panels. With these panels, the train collects more than 4 kW of additional energy which is used for the accessories such as the air conditioning. Not needed energy is charged into the batteries.
