Could see Hitachi manufacturing battery-operated trams and trains in the UK. And also to upgrade the Class 385 to run on battery mode to be used on non-electrified shorter lines in Scotland.
Florence Marvellous Medieval City, cradle of Renaissance and PowerHouse of Commerce. Nowadays, in his historical spirit, it is ahead of Euopean cities for developping a project of substainable transports. The Tram (Tramvia) network of Florence Metropolitan area will be completed, hopefully, by 2030 giving the City a new and a key contribution to cut traffic pollution and noise. Compliments to Florence Community for this important project.
The majority of early twentieth-century tram systems were taken up when buses became a cheaper alternative - no expensive rails or overhead power to install. And the rails meant that trams were confined to a very precise route and could not manouevre around an obstacle in the road such as roadworks or a broken down vehicle. Even trolley buses which kept the power but ran on bus wheels were done away with. Can someone explain what it is that makes it worth re-investing in an expensive rail system rather than electric buses with the same batteries?

Nice way to say that they want to get rid of the overhead lines!

HITACHI battery-EMU in Japan,
JR Kyushu(Series BEC819:"D"UAL "EN"ERGY "CHA"RGE TRAIN, DENCHA)
and
JR East(Series EV-E801:ACCUM).
Do these along with newer Hitachi trams still use the same traction inverter that was used in Ansaldobreda T68A and T69?
Can we have one for Espelkamp, too?
Florence, beautiful city
Great! Now they should upgrade their design, it looks so old!
Imagine hybrid blues trains in Bosnia 🇧🇦
