Green Car Congress: East Japan Railway to Introduce Diesel-Electric Hybrid Railcar (895 words)
East Japan Railway Co (JR East) is developing a new diesel-electric series hybrid railcar that it will introduce into operations next summer.
In calculating the battery requirements, the JR East engineers factored in capacity for storing regenerative braking energy (the average braking energy used for making a single stop is approximately 1 kWh) and the electric energy necessary to run a railcar for 5 km between stations (approximately 3 kWh).
JR East will start to operate the hybrid train on the Koumi Line between Obuchizawa Station in the town of Obuchizawa, Yamanashi Prefecture and Komoro Station in the city of Komoro, Nagano Prefecture.
