Battery trains can travel 1000km

With just one single charge, the battery-powered trains can travel over 1,000km with full passengers on their cars.

At first glance, many people will think this is extravagant dream. However, the current technology completely allows the creation of a train of passenger ships using such a rechargeable battery. In the context of rising oil prices and fossil fuels, the construction of a rechargeable battery train is likely to be a viable solution to the need for people to travel.

Experts working at the Research Department of the Transport Ministry said there were two options for the kind of rechargeable battery ships they studied. First, the locomotives will be equipped with small rechargeable batteries weighing about 2 tons to meet the operation of the train. However, when stopping at certain stations, passengers are forced to wait for the replacement of the tractor, to meet the ability to operate in the next journey.

Battery trains can be the solution of the future.

Secondly, if the 8-ton rechargeable battery is used, the train can travel continuously over 1,000 km. However, special sections of the road still need the support of a supercapacitor or flywheel to keep the train running smoothly.

While the use of batteries to equip trains operating at close quarters is possible, lessons from electric vehicles show that rechargeable batteries are generally poor. While conventional diesel trains cost $ 250,000 in operating costs per year, trains use up to $ 380,000, including nearly $ 230,000 in replacement costs.

Thus, the price of diesel must be doubled compared to today, the popularity of the new battery train is really feasible. However, there will be times when people have to pay special attention to this particular type of vehicle, because fossil fuels, including oil, are not endless. When these fuels are exhausted, people need to find new solutions to serve themselves.

"I do not think I'll ever see the use of a battery-powered train ," said John Molyneux, who led the research . However, they will be used for usefulness rather than for effective counting. It will be used by fuel prices and environmentally safe. ' As battery technology improves compared to today, it can be an effective solution of the future.
