Alpha Trains Commits To Hybrid Retrofit For Diesel Fleet

The title of this post is the same as that on this article on Global Rail News.

This is the first paragraph.

Alpha Trains has signed a letter of intent with Rolls-Royce to retrofit its existing diesel train fleet with hybrid drive systems.

This involves using an MTU Hybrid PowerPack, from the same family as those, that will be used in the UK to upgrade the Class 170 trains. I talked about the latter project in Rolls-Royce And Porterbrook Launch First Hybrid Rail Project In The UK With MTU Hybrid PowerPacks.

It certainly looks like Rolls-Royce have created the MTU Hybrid PowerPack for a worthwhile market.

This video explains Rolls-Royce’s thinking.

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
