Bombardier battery-electric powered tram sets range record: 25.9 miles of catenary-free operation

Green Car Congress

RNV began using SuperCaps energy storage systems in 2009, and has integrated this technology into 30 of their trams. This provided sufficient energy for short catenary-free operation (CFO) distances. The PRIMOVE battery system builds upon Bombardier’s years of experience with energy storage systems.

New bio-inspired macro-meso-microporous material offers significant improvement in battery performance

Green Car Congress

Examples include photocatalysis, gas sensing and as Li-ion battery electrodes. The hierarchical nature of the pores also reduces the stresses in these electrodes during the charge/discharge processes, improving their structural stability and resulting in a longer life time for energy storage devices. —Zheng et al.
