The new and uniqueBOMBARDIER* PRIMOVE*

systemallows catenary-ree operation o BOMBARDIER* FLEXITY*

trams over distances o varying lengths and in all surroundings

as well as on underground lines – just like any conventional

system with overhead lines. What makes it outstanding is its

contactless inductive power transer with electric supply

components that are invisible and hidden under the vehicle

and beneath the track.

The benets are eident:

• Elimination of overhead wires – increasing a city’s

attractiveness

• Safe inductive power transfer

• No wear of parts and components

• Resistant to all weather and ground conditions

In addition, the PRIMOVE system is environmentally riendly

and energy efcient: Connected to the BOMBARDIER*

MITRAC* Energy Saver it allows power optimisation or

peak perormance. Using high-perormance double layer

capacitor technology the MITRAC Energy Saver stores the

electrical energy released each time the vehicle brakes and

re-uses it during acceleration or operation.

cst-ecient, reliable and fexible:

• Due to contactless power supply, operation of the

PRIMOVE catenary-ree system is sae or pedestrians

and other road users such as bikes, motorbikes or cars

• With no direct contact during energy transfer there is no

wear o parts and components which keeps service and

maintenance costs at a minimum

• Even under adverse weather conditions such as snow,

ice, sand, rain or water the perormance is reliable

• The vehicle performance is the same as with conventionalcatenary systems

• With the on-board MITRAC Energy Saver the system can

continuously recharge the energy levels needed or

uninterrupted maximum perormance

• The PRIMOVE system can be tailored to the individual

needs o each city: it is adaptable to dierent topographical

conditions, perormance expectations and distances

Preserving our environment by reducing emissions and

using energy resources in an efcient and responsible way

are undoubtedly major challenges which communities all

over the world ace today. Exhaust emissions and noise are

some o the main actors that lead to a deterioration in the

quality o lie in our cities. In urban transport, railbound

operations are making a major contribution to relieving

congestion as well as cutting CO2

and noise emissions.

Why Catnay-F patn?In addition to these well-known actors, municipal

authorities are increasingly acing visual pollution caused by

power poles and overhead lines obstructing the visibility o

landmark buildings and squares. With PRIMOVE catenary-

ree operation trams can even run through heritage-

protected areas, such as parks and gardens, historic

market and cathedral squares, where conventional

catenary systems are not permitted, thus preserving natural

and historic environments. Additionally, when planning a

syst wk?When running on conventional systems, trams and light rail

vehicles take their energy rom an overhead electrical line.

Equipping the tracks and the vehicle with the PRIMOVE

components also allows operation without a catenary.

Cables laid beneath the ground are connected to the

power conditioning and supply network. They are only

energized when ully covered by the vehicle, which ensures

sae operation. A pick-up coil underneath the vehicle turns

the magnetic feld created by the cables in the ground into

an electric current that eeds the vehicle traction system.

Inductie pwer transer principle

The unctional principle is based on the inductive power

transer o a transormer (see illustration below) – a principle

used in certain industrial applications (in the automotive

industry or transportation systems in manuacturing) or

with household appliances (i.e. electric toothbrush).

MITRAC Energy Saer

The vehicle mounted MITRAC Energy Saver stores the

energy gained during braking and is constantly charged up

during operation, either when the vehicle is in motion or

waiting at a stop, picking up the power rom the

underground section. Doing so allows both maximum

vehicle perormance and constant inductive power levels,

ensuring continuous operation o the vehicle just like

conventional catenary systems.

Testing at Bmbardier in Bautzen (2009)

The new PRIMOVE catenary-ree solution underwent

extensive testing lasting several weeks at the test track o

the Bombardier site in Bautzen, Germany: A low-oor tram

and the test track were equipped with the PRIMOVE

components. Simulating regular operation dierent test

phases were carried out.

First installatin in Augsburg (2010)

In May 2010, Bombardier and the Augsburg Transport

Authority (STAWA) have signed a cooperation agreement to

install the PRIMOVE system on a 0.8 km section o Line 3

to the airground o the city o Augsburg, Germany. The

objective o the pilot project scheduled or several months

is to obtain permissions or public passenger transport and

to demonstrate the technical capability o the system underreal conditions o daily operation.

operating at a speed o up to 50 km/h with a gradient o

up to six percent)

• Performance can be provided to vary from 100 to up to

500 kW, depending on the respective vehicles and

system requirements: length and number o vehicles,
