Rail traffic of the future: Schleswig-Holstein relies on climate-friendly battery braces!

Schleswig-Holstein is at the head of climate-friendly mobility! With the commissioning of the last charging island for battery brackets at Tönning train station, Deutsche Bahn has opened a pioneering chapter in public transport. This milestone campaign, which took place on Sunday, marks the complete expansion of the battery train network in the region. According to the train, environmentally friendly battery railcars can now replace diesel locomotives and thus save around 10 million liters of diesel annually, which corresponds to avoiding around 26,000 tons of CO2, as the magazine Stern reported.

Innovative technology enables that battery braces are now used on previously not electrified sections of the route such as in Husum, Heide and Tönning. These trains invite their batteries to short overhead line - an exciting progress that revolutionizes local transport. Dr. Arne Beck von Nah.SH emphasizes the importance of the project for climate -neutral rail passenger traffic by 2030 and announced that the new battery brackets will significantly increase comfort and efficiency in public transport, as can be read in the news of the official website of Nah.SH.

further expansion of the infrastructure

The new charging station in Heide aims to be connected to the power grid by September 2023. A total of twelve train stations on the west coast will be modernized by the end of the year, which significantly improves accessibility. After the electrification in Bad Oldesloe has already been completed, the overhead lines are also expanded in Kiel and Büchen.

The exciting perspective is that the electrified route between Kiel and Lübeck-Lüneburg will be operated for the first time from October 2023. This will enable over 10 million kilometers to be covered electrically in favor of diesels a year. This project is not only a symbol of sustainability, but also a distinctive example of future -oriented cooperation between different actors, as is classified by those responsible.

These progress is a ChancenPOS that will shape the mobility landscape of Schleswig-Holstein sustainably, both ecologically and with regard to passenger friendliness.
