Jon WorthI’m at #Innotrans all day. I’ll sporadically post in this thread.
First impression: CRRC (Chinese manufacturer) has the main advert at Messe Süd
And here it is! The most stupid rail vehicle currently produced. A hydrogen tram 🤬 Hyundai-Rotem #Innotrans
The Talgo electric locomotive for DB - series 105 - is here. They didn’t already build 19 of these I hope? 🤔 #Innotrans
Končar has a battery electric multiple unit here. That seems to charge only from a cable, not from an overhead wire in a terminus #Innotrans

So, they need extra special equipment to be possible to use? Defeats the stated use case, I'd say.

@Gurre maybe. But from - say - Split where there are no overhead wires?
@jon
My assumption would be that it might me possible to build the overhead wires at stations?
Or maybe that's my bias in favour of having an end goal of full electrification showing though.
