New Pesa Tram Platform: Innovations for City Transport

New Pesa Tram Platform: A Modern Solution for Urban Transport

The new Pesa tram platform, presented at InnoTrans 2024, stands out for its innovation and practicality, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Pesa focuses on making trams lighter and more efficient. By reducing the weight of key components and lowering axle loads, they’ve boosted energy efficiency and cut down on operational costs. Cities like Krakow are already preparing to integrate these advanced solutions into their public transport systems.

Pesa’s new platform also boasts a modular design that allows customization based on client needs. For instance, the trams can extend beyond 40 meters in length, making them ideal for larger cities. This modular flexibility puts Pesa in a strong position to win the tender for Krakow’s tram supply. Securing this contract would greatly enhance Pesa’s presence in Europe’s public transport sector.

Pesa’s Exploration of Hydrogen-Powered Trams

Besides traditional electric trams, Pesa is investing heavily in alternative energy sources. Hydrogen fuel cells, supercapacitors, and batteries are all being considered for future models. Hydrogen-powered trams could revolutionize urban transport by reducing emissions and increasing operational efficiency. Although still in development, these hydrogen-based solutions could soon play a key role in the eco-friendly public transport networks of tomorrow.

Pesa is also making strides in enhancing the durability of its trams. Improved soundproofing and anti-corrosion features make these trams more reliable and long-lasting. The new Pesa tram platform adapts to various operational environments, offering cities a highly flexible and sustainable solution.

Thanks to its focus on modern technology and sustainability, Pesa is set to remain a leader in the tram industry. The integration of alternative energy sources like hydrogen further strengthens the company’s position as an innovator in eco-friendly urban transport.
