Railway electrification has a long history, dating back to the late 19th century when the first electric tramways were introduced in cities such as Berlin and London. Now globally, about one third of railways are electrified. In mountainous Switzerland, the whole railway network is electrified and many other countries, including China, are investing in electrified rail. In contrast, the trucking industry is only just starting its journey to electrification. The arrival of a demonstration Chinese built Windrose electric truck in New Zealand has caused much excitement amongst those promoting electrification of land transport. Certainly, electric trucks will play an important role in decarbonising transport. But technology is also rapidly advancing in the rail sector and electric trains will still outperform electric trucks when carrying freight and people long distances on many routes. https://lnkd.in/gSuSxSmM

#Denmark has ordered 24 battery-electric #trains from Stadler. These trains will replace the outdated diesel fleet. The contract between Stadler and the Danish operator Lokaltog was signed in 2024. The first of 14 trains included in the firm order is scheduled for delivery in 2028. The new #train fleet will improve the #sustainability and convenience of regional #transportation. The Flirt Akku that Denmark will receive are designed to operate both on electrical grids and using #battery power. They can run up to 100 kilometers without recharging, making them particularly effective on routes without #electrification. Stadler will ensure full accessibility for passengers with disabilities, with designated spaces for wheelchairs inside the trains. Currently, Denmark operates diesel-powered IC2 trains, which have been in service since 1997. The new battery-electric trains supplied by Stadler will replace them, enhancing environmental safety. The trains will run on #railway lines across Zealand, Lollandh, and Falster islands, reducing emissions and improving travel comfort. In the tender initiated in 2023, CAF (Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles) and Siemens Mobility also submitted bids. However, after a thorough review, Lokaltog selected Stadler’s proposal. Lokaltog’s fleet currently consists of 58 electric trains, including 13 IC2 trains, 41 Lint trains, and four RegioSprinters. Stadler plans to complete the delivery of all battery-electric trains by 2028.

6/9 The first known electric locomotive was built in 1837 by chemist Robert Davidson of Aberdeen in Scotland, and it was powered by galvanic cells (batteries). Thus it was also the earliest battery electric locomotive. Davidson later built a larger locomotive named Galvani, exhibited at the Royal Scottish Society of Arts Exhibition in 1841. The seven-ton vehicle had two direct-drive reluctance motors, with fixed electromagnets acting on iron bars attached to a wooden cylinder on each axle, and simple commutators. It hauled a load of six tons at four miles per hour (6 kmph) for a distance of one and a half miles (2.4 KM). It was tested on the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway in September of the following year, but the limited power from batteries prevented its general use. It was destroyed by railway workers, who saw it as a threat to their job security. Early experimentation with railway electrification was undertaken by the Ukrainian engineer Fyodor Pirotsky. In 1875, he had electrically powered railway cars run on Miller's line, between Sestroretsk and Beloostrov. During September 1880, in St. Petersburg, Pirotsky put into operation an electric tram he had converted from a double-decker horse tramway. Although Pirotsky's own tram project was taken no further, his experiment and work in the field did stimulate interest in electric trams globally. Carl von Siemens met with Pirotsky and studied exhibits of his work carefully. The Siemens brothers (Carl and Werner) began commercial production of their own design of electric trams soon after, in 1881. Werner von Siemens demonstrated an electric railway in 1879 in Berlin. One of the world's first electric tram lines, Gross-Lichterfelde Tramway, opened in Lichterfelde near Berlin, Germany, in 1881. It was built by Siemens Mobility. The tram ran on 180 Volt DC, which was supplied by running rails. In 1891 the track was equipped with an overhead wire and the line was extended to Berlin-Lichterfelde West station. The Volk's Electric Railway opened in 1883 in Brighton, England. The railway is still operational, thus making it the oldest operational electric railway in the world. Also in 1883, Mödling and Hinterbrühl Tram opened near Vienna in Austria. It was the first tram line in the world in regular service powered from an overhead line. Five years later, in the US electric trolleys were pioneered in 1888 on the Richmond Union Passenger Railway, using equipment designed by Frank J. Sprague.
