Which Key Trends Are Driving Changes In The Hybrid Train Market?
The rise of battery-fueled trains is becoming a significant trend in the hybrid train market. These environmentally-friendly trains represent a future of sustainable transportation. With projected decreases in the cost of lithium-ion batteries over the coming years, such battery-run trains are likely to present an economical and sustainable choice for the railway sector. To illustrate, in May 2022, the West Central Railway in India created a battery-powered dual-mode locomotive. This engine operates using both battery and electricity, capable of pulling 18 coaches at speeds up to 30 kmph. Crucially, this battery-driven locomotive is expected to reduce diesel consumption by 1,000 liters per day.
