5. BOMBARDIER FLEXITY VEHICLES 3,500+ TRAMS AND LRVS IN REVENUE SERVICE OR ON ORDER TRAMS Integrated into urban traffic Small curve radius between 12m and 18m 100 % low-floor and conventional wheel-set bogies Easy access and increased passenger comfort High running stability, noise reduction LIGHT RAIL VEHICLES Segregated tracks Curve radius between 20m and 25m Ability to use Mainline infrastructure
6. GOLD COAST LIGHT RAIL 13km, 16 stations, turnkey E&M
7. FOCUS ON PASSENGERS VEHICLE INTERIOR Maximum use of the space High flexibility in terms of layout and colouring High capacity, large number of comfortable passenger seats Very low pedestal, no steps obstruct passenger flow Aisle width up to 740 mm with 2+2 seating Optimised cross section and arrangement for agreeable perception of space Generously dimensioned articulation portal gangway
8. HIGH FLEXIBILITY AND CUSTOMISATION TAILOR-MADE VEHICLES Vehicle configuration flexibility Customers given virtually unlimited scope in customizing the exterior design Interior design is a balanced mix of simple, standardized solutions and individual features – Colours – Materials – Seat-cover fabric – Lighting – Seats and stanchion arrangement – Onboard racks for bicycles or luggage
9. FLEXIBLE VEHICLE ARRANGEMENT CONFIGURATION 5 modules 7 modules 2 motor bogies 3 motor bogies 1 trailer bogies 1 trailer bogies 32m long 43m long 2.30m / 2.40m / 2.65m wide 2.30m / 2.40m / 2.65m wide CM: cab module BM: bogie module SM: saloon module
10. BOOSTING CUSTOMER COMPETITIVENESS ENERGY SAVINGS AND POWER SUPPLY OPTIMIZATION Storing energy while braking Using stored energy during acceleration Energy savings up to 30% for light rail systems Boost to the vehicle’s speed when line current or engine power are limited Optimization of power supply Reduced infrastructure investment Catenary-free operation for short distances and as a part of the PRIMOVE solution also for longer distances ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE
11. SUSTAINABLE COMMUTING FOR GREENER CITIES CATENARY-FREE OPERATION Technology based on inductive power principle which enables contact free operation Operation possible under any weather condition No risk of power loss due to contact break No danger of electric hazard as all electric devices are fully isolated
13. THE FUTURE OF E-MOBILITY PRIMOVE TECHNOLOGY CAN BE APPLIED TO ALL TYPES OF VEHICLES Unlimited mobility – Continuous contactless, inductive energy transfer combined with efficient on-board energy storage systems No recharging hassles – Both dynamic and static charging possible For all types of vehicles – The same infrastructure, which is compatible at high efficiency levels from 3 to 1,000 kW Zero emissions and low maintenance – No local emissions; no wear on parts and components due to contactless power transfer Safe, invisible and tamper-proof – Hidden underground; reliable in adverse weather and ground conditions; energy transfer only active when induction segment is completely covered by the vehicle
14. NANJING, HEXI AND QILIN TRAMWAY LINES CATENARY-FREE OPERATIONS
15. NANJING, HEXI AND QILIN TRAMWAY LINES CATENARY-FREE OPERATIONS
16. WAYSIDE ENERGY STORAGE TEMPORARY BRAKING ENERGY STORED IN SUPERCAPACITORS Simple interface No house power No communications connection Only connections to traction power
17. SUZHOU LRT LINE 1 CITYFLO 150 TRAIN CONTROL Accurate preemption Effective signal priority Faster tram speed Reduced CAPEX and OPEX Reduced road traffic impact
18. POINT CONTROLLER EBI LOCK 400 Route setting commands Center Control Room: from ATS via backbone network Train: from driver’s remote control command via train to wayside loop Local: from driver’s command via local wayside button Automatic route release after Train passing over Supports route cancelation Supports emergency route release Control point heaters
