Batteries move into railway sector

Trains in Germany have begun commercial operation using high-capacity batteries, with some trains reaching a capacity of up to 840 kWh, enabling them to travel up to 120 kilometers without recharging. This development is a sign of the railway sector shifting from diesel-powered trains to more sustainable technologies, as the batteries are recharged during the train's stop at final stations in about 30 minutes. Manufacturers confirm that battery technology, especially nickel-manganese-cobalt batteries, allows for a reduction in environmental emissions, particularly as Germany relies on green energy. Companies are also working to expand their use globally as a cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative.
