日立铁路推出尖端的电池、内燃机、电力混合动力列车

日立铁路和Trenitalia近日推出开创性的'蓝色列车'。

-今年晚些时候该型车在意大利开始运行时，将是欧洲首个电池混合动力车队，可在整个欧洲大陆运行。

-混合动力'三模式 '列车可在电池、电力或柴油动力之间无缝切换，并将减少50%以上的排放量。

日立铁路新型'蓝色列车 '是世界上最先进的列车之一，为意大利铁路公司建造的尖端的电池混合动力列车将减少50%的碳排放和燃料消耗，并有能力完全依靠电池动力到达和离开车站。该列车将是今年晚些时候在欧洲投入客运服务的首个 '三模式'（使用电池、电力和柴油动力）车队。

该列车的落成典礼将在今年晚些时候在意大利投入客运服务之前举行的，它将为乘客提供更加无缝、可持续的旅行。该列车源自日立的Masaccio平台。与Trenitalia签订的'蓝色 '总框架协议包括供应多达135列车，价值12亿欧元。

'三模式'蓝色列车代表了市场上的一个重大突破，它能够在电气化和非电气化线路上无缝运行。在电气化线路上，它使用受电弓从架空接触网上获取电力。然而，当它移动到非电气化线路上时，通常是较小的区域线路，电池和柴油动力的组合可替代接管。当它靠近车站时，电池完全为列车供电，消除了包括有害的氮氧化物在内的排放，并减少了噪音污染。在列车运行过程中，无论是柴油还是电动模式，电池都能够充电。

列车的最高速度为160公里/小时，至关重要的是，车载电池提供的额外动力意味着蓝色列车的加速和性能优于现有的柴油列车，使其能够为乘客提供更短的旅程时间。

蓝色列车配备了最新的欧洲铁路交通管理系统（ERTMS）数字化信号系统，此前，该系统只在高速列车上使用。该系统通过调节列车的速度、加速和制动，支持减少铁路的能源和排放足迹。ERTMS还通过实现列车安全功能的自动激活来提高安全性，包括在发生危险或列车超过轨道线速度时进行紧急制动。ERTMS被公认为欧洲铁路标准，使蓝色列车具有高度的互联互通性，适合在欧洲各地运行。

新的四节车厢编组列车在日立铁路位于皮斯托亚和那不勒斯的工厂制造，最大速度可达160公里/小时，可容纳300人就座。车队的设计是为了满足家庭和休闲旅行者以及普通通勤者的需要，其特点包括更大的行李和自行车容量、空调、更多的USB和电源插座以提高连接性，以及一个完全为儿童准备的区域。车队设计了平台式车门，以增加轮椅使用者或携带婴儿车或大包的乘客进入和离开的便利性。它还拥有最新的乘客信息屏幕（24英寸）、乘客计数技术和为行动不便者提供的良好通道。

Hitachi Rail unveils cutting-edge battery hybrid train that will reduce emissions across Europe

• It will be the first battery hybrid fleet in passenger service anywhere in Europe when it starts running in Italy later this year – but is suitable to run across the continent

• Hybrid 'tri-mode’ train can switch seamlessly between battery, electric or diesel power, and will cut emissions by more than 50%

Hitachi Rail’s new 'Blues Train’, one of the most advanced trains in the world, was unveiled today (Wednesday 21^st 2022) in Berlin at the world’s largest rail transport fair, InnoTrans. Built for Trenitalia, the cutting-edge battery hybrid train will reduce carbon emissions and fuel consumption by 50% and has the ability to arrive at and depart from stations completely under battery power. The train will be the first ever 'tri-mode’ (using battery, electric and diesel power) fleet to enter passenger service in Europe, later this year.

The train’s inauguration comes ahead of its introduction into passenger service in Italy later this year where it will offer more seamless, sustainable travel for passengers. The train is derived from Hitachi’s Masaccio platform. The total Blues framework agreement with Trenitalia includes the supply of up to 135 trains worth €1.2bn.

The 'tri-mode’ Blues train, represents a significant breakthrough in the market, with its ability to operate seamlessly on electrified and non-electrified lines. On electrified routes, it uses pantographs to draw power from the overhead lines. However, when it moves to non-electrified lines, usually smaller regional routes, a combination of battery and diesel power takes over. When it is near a station, the batteries power the train completely, eliminating emissions including harmful NO_x and reducing noise pollution. The battery is able to recharge while the train is in operation, both in diesel and electric mode.

The fleet’s top speed is 160km/h. Yet, crucially the extra power offered by the on-board batteries means the Blues train’s acceleration and performance is superior to existing diesel trains, allowing it to offer reduced journey times for passengers.

The Blues train is equipped with innovative European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) digital signalling, which has up until now only been used on high speed trains. This system supports the reduction of the railway’s energy and emissions footprint by regulating the speed, acceleration and braking of trains. ERTMS also boosts safety by enabling the automatic activation of train safety functions, including emergency braking in case of danger or if trains exceed the track’s line speed. ERTMS is recognised as the European rail standard, making the Blues Train highly interoperable and suitable for operation across Europe.

The new four-carriage trains have been manufactured at Hitachi Rail’s factories in Pistoia and Naples, can reach 160 km/h of maximum speed and accommodate up to 300 people seated. The fleet has been designed to accommodate families and leisure travellers, as well as regular commuters, with features including greater capacity for luggage and bikes, air conditioning, more USB and power sockets for greater connectivity, and an area entirely dedicated to children. The fleet has been designed with platform level door access to increase the ease of entry and departure for wheelchair users or passengers with buggies or large bags. It also boasts the latest in passenger information screens (24 inches), passenger counting technology and excellent access for people with limited mobility.
