Greentech by Trainelec

Greentech by Trainelec is an ambitious initiative developed by Trainelec, aimed at providing a range of more efficient products which are also more environmentally friendly.

The main values of Greentech by Trainelec are:

• Technology: we produce products which are both sustainable and environmentally friendly; we are committed to a better world
• Efficiency: we develop state-of-the-art technology products, tailor-made to suit our customers’ requirements
• Ecology: we optimise energy consumption and minimise maintenance end energy costs, as well as the impact on the environment

Energy storage systems for trains

Our energy storage systems are composed of a DC/DC converter, which manages the energy charge and discharge of the super capacitor, and an energy storage module, which stores the energy into the batteries and super capacitors.

Energy storage system for trams

Evodrive is a system based on super capacitors which improves the energy efficiency of the train by recovering the energy released during braking. Evodrive is especially suited for trams, where the recovery with a conventional traction system is low, since the energy cannot normally be returned to the overhead power wire. This permits approximately 35% energy savings compared with a traditional system.
