ABB: partnership with Skoda for railway batteries
(CercleFinance.com) - ABB and Skoda Group announce a partnership to equip 15 new battery electric multiple units (BEMUs) of ceské dráhy, a Czech rail operator, with ABB's Traction Battery Pro Series batteries.
The project, worth less $20m, includes the delivery of 195 batteries and a 15-year maintenance agreement.
These lightweight, compact batteries enable trains to run on partially electrified networks, reducing emissions without the need for full infrastructure electrification.
The heads of both companies underline their commitment to a sustainable and eco-responsible railway future.
