ENERGY ON THE GO
Modular, High-Voltage Energy Storage Systems
Rail Applications
Intercity Tri-Mode Trains (Battery | Electric | Diesel)
Extend battery operation to locations where overhead electrification is unavailable or prohibitively costly to implement (particularly tunnels and bridges), reduce engine run time, and improve station-area air quality through battery-only arrivals and departures. Turntide's modular high-voltage battery systems are already being deployed with Hitachi Rail to enable cleaner, quieter intercity service.
Retrofit Battery-Hybrid Conversions
Upgrade existing fleets faster than full infrastructure buildouts, using scalable battery modules to replace or downsize diesel generation while maintaining range and timetable performance. Turntide’s modular architecture supports rapid deployment and serviceability—designed to minimize downtime during conversion.
Regional & Commuter Operations
High stop frequency and variable loads demand robust thermal management, predictable power delivery, and long lifecycles. Battery capability can reduce noise and emissions in dense population corridors while improving operational flexibility. The Turntide battery system’s design is informed by duty-cycle simulation and rail standards to support real-world reliability.
Geofenced & Sensitive-Zone Operation
Battery-only operation in stations, city centers, and tunnels helps operators meet local requirements without compromising network coverage. Turntide high-voltage battery systems are engineered for safe, controlled transitions between power modes and repeatable deployment across routes.
Leading the Hybrid Era with Proof, Not Predictions
Easily Retrofit
Modular design is ideal for retrofits—it causes minimal disruption, so trains can be updated and returned to service quickly.
Charge on the Move
Battery enables about 90-km to 100-km battery operation and can recharge via overhead wires and from regenerative braking while in motion.
Environmental
Expected impacts include about 20% to 30% carbon savings and up to a 30% fuel cost reduction plus documented trial claims of 30% to 50% fuel cost reduction in 2024 intercity trial messaging.
Certified
Designed to meet rail standards including BSEN‑62928, BSEN62619, BSEN‑50155, IEC‑61508.
