Just next year, Vivarail will be commencing a live trial of its net zero battery trains on the UK’s rail network. The world-class technology can be applied to existing rolling stock to convert diesel engines to emission-free battery power, or to extend the range of electric trains beyond where overhead wires stop. Two, three or four car trains can travel for up to 100km on battery power alone, and be recharged in just 10 minutes from power banks, located at stations and depots.
