Railway battery solutions based on SCiB™ technology
Traction Battery Systems
Traction Battery Systems
With Toshiba’s railway vehicle know-how and experience we design and supply customized systems. Optimized for the overall vehicle architecture we deliver systems with an integral safety concept which are easy to integrate on rolling stock.
Our battery systems are based on our SCiB™ TypeS modules and monitoring units designed for railway vehicles. They meet the highest qualitative and quantitative safety requirements of EN 50129 for SIL4* applications.
Lithium titanate is characterised by its high safety with regard to fire and explosion hazards. The risk of short-circuit and thermal runaway even under extreme temperatures is minimized.
These features make the battery systems ideal for carbon neutral and energy efficient hybrid traction operations, as well as onboard systems for emergency and auxiliary operations.
*Safety Integrity level 4 based on the assessment according to EN 50126 and EN 50129
