Energy efficiencyfrom concept to implementation
Energy efficiency is the topic of the day in the world of public transport. In addition to the protection of the environment, economic interests are at the center in the operation of rail vehicles and buses: every kilowatt-hour saved is a good kilowatt-hour. New approaches combined with modern technologies, for example, allow the direct use of renewable energies, the optimization of the speed profile, an efficient and cost-effective storage of braking energy which also opens the door to operations without a contact line.These new possibilities make it possible to achieve higher targets in terms of energy savings.
Successful implementation requires technical knowledge and competence in all of the multi-faceted and interrelated systems on-board as well as infrastructure, know-how in the operation of public transport together with knowledge of regulations and laws and a good understanding of economic aspects. ENOTRAC, active for over 30 years in the world of electric transport of all kinds, offers its customers exactly the necessary know-how and experience. Whether the requirement is simulation and sizing, testing and measurement, or providing advice and expertise, we have the knowledge and experience to significantly improve energy efficiency in public transport and to support you in finding the best concepts and going on to implement the best solution.
