Lithium-ion energy storage system Ion-OnBoard®

compact

Today’s transport must be quieter and more efficient than ever to meet environmental standards and guidelines. New energy-efficient technology such as regenerative hybrid traction is helping make the industry even more sustainable and economically competitive. The new modular Li-ion Ion-OnBoard® regenerative hybrid traction battery system means rail operators can capture, store and reuse rolling stock braking energy for traction – resulting in improved energy efficiency, reduced costs and a lower environmental impact. Ion-OnBoard® Regen systems are modular to fit a multitude of rolling stock including: light-rail systems such as trams, streetcars and tram-trains; electric-powered trains including Electric Multiple Units (EMUs); diesel hybrid, diesel shunting and freight locomotives, DMUs and Automated People Movers (APMs). Features & Benefits Stores kinetic braking energy (regenerative braking) to be reused for autonomous traction Reduced energy consumption, infrastructure costs and maintenance requirements Increased sustainable mobility Reduced fossil fuel consumption, engine noise and particulate emissions Increased aesthetic appeal, ideal historic city centers Technical Specifications Provides high power and energy density Lightweight and compact system designed for ease-of-integration and installation Flexible, scalable approach to configure the ideal battery system in terms of voltage, dynamic cycling, energy and power characteristics Fully integrated solution with Saft’s maintenance free Li-ion technology to optimize performance while ensuring safety and reliability over a long service life
