Batteries for transport vehicles that pay off.
We identify opportunities for cost-effective battery operation in rail vehicles and fixed traction equipment. We deliver a technology solution that optimizes the operating parameters you choose. Our own online monitoring of vehicle and onboard battery condition brings further energy savings.
Power systems that meet rail certification requirements.
Rail applications place specific demands on batteries and power systems for vibration resistance, temperature range, and electromagnetic compatibility, as set out in the EN 50155 standard. Solutions from general industry can't simply be carried over without modification and homologation.
We supply both vehicle and station systems and manage the complete homologation process, from design through testing to operational approval. Batteries and containers for public transport (trams, buses, trains) handle starting, power supply, and backup for onboard systems. Our offering also includes ultrasonic testing systems for battery condition diagnostics.
In addition to supply, we offer our own battery monitoring for ongoing diagnostics, service, cell stock, and operator training – on site or at our facility in Kralupy. Our customers and partners in the rail sector include Škoda Group (onboard batteries for trams in Mannheim, Heidelberg, Ludwigshafen, Bonn, and Kassel), Pragoimex, CZ Loko, České dráhy, DPOV, ČD Cargo, RegioJet, and LeoExpress.

Does this sound like you?
Typical situations in rail operations.
Modernizing locomotive starter batteries
You need a replacement that meets rail standards and homologation requirements.
Station backup power
Signaling and other critical station systems require certified backup power sources.
New rolling stock or modernization
Battery homologation is a required part of vehicle approval for operation.
Battery condition diagnostics
Ultrasonic testing systems detect cell degradation before it causes a failure in operation.
