Shunting and short-haul operations with reduced energy consumption and emission-free operation e.g. in battery mode
Hybrid Locomotives
Overview: Hybrid Locomotives
Toshiba Group combines over 120 years of experience in railway systems, as well as more than 10 years of experience in hybrid systems with proven technological ability. Our hybrid locomotives address the challenges of today’s freight operations.
We supply reliable, energy efficient and more environmentally-friendly rail vehicle solutions. Lower life cycle costs as well as the safety and comfort of drivers and shunting personnel are central to our product innovations. We develop locomotives both for shunting as well as short distance purposes, and offer solutions for new vehicles and retrofit projects.
Features
Our hybrid systems combine Toshiba’s experience in the field of propulsion systems with its innovative battery technology.
Regardless of the source which provides the energy, our hybrid systems ensure that the vehicle is always running at the optimum operating point.
This both reduces emissions and saves valuable resources, with the reduction further enhanced by recuperation.
From a structural perspective, a modular concept is used that improves ease of maintenance while also enabling higher performance storage batteries to be installed in the future.
Benefits
- High safety: Our traction battery system combines the inherent safety of SCiB™ modules with monitoring units and a functional design for safe operation
- High flexibility: Our hybrid system allows efficient operation at full power, low load as well as emission-free operation e.g. in battery mode
- High efficiency: Using Toshiba components enables us to achieve higher efficiency
- High availability: Due to a redundant vehicle structure and the high reliability of Toshiba components
- High comfort: Provided by a comfortable driver’s cabin
