Alstom has nearly 20 years of experience implementing catenary-free operation for light rail vehicles, with 22 lines in 17 cities worldwide.
One of our solutions is the wayside catenary-free system, which provides a continuous energy supply via a third rail. This method ensures that the light rail vehicles are safely powered only when a tram passes by. This proven solution has demonstrated its reliability even in harsh climate conditions.
We also offer an onboard catenary-free solution, allowing the use of batteries or super-capacitors to power the light rail vehicles. Not only does this system enable energy recovery while braking, but it also supports recharging at the station through a catenary or conductive on-ground system.
We can retrofit existing trams with our catenary-free technology, ensuring that cities can benefit from this innovative solution without requiring a complete overhaul of their existing infrastructure. With our expertise and commitment to sustainable transportation, we are dedicated to making cities more beautiful and environmentally friendly.
