Railway battery solutions based on SCiB™ technology
Traction Battery Systems
Traction Battery Systems
We use Toshiba’s railway vehicle know-how and experience to design and supply customized systems. We deliver systems that are optimized for the overall vehicle architecture, with an integral safety concept, and 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-circuits and thermal runaway is minimized, even under extreme temperatures.
These features make the battery systems ideal for carbon-neutral and energy-efficient hybrid traction operations, as well as on-board systems for emergency and auxiliary operations.
*Safety Integrity level 4 based on the assessment according to EN 50126 and EN 50129
