Saft: supplies LTO batteries to Siemens Mobility

(CercleFinance.com) - Saft, a TotalEnergies subsidiary, is supplying Siemens Mobility with lithium titanate oxide (LTO) traction batteries to power seven new-generation Mireo Plus H hydrogen trains operating in Germany.


The lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries form a hybrid power system with fuel cells to offer a smart alternative to diesel railcars. Mireo Plus H trains thus pave the way for autonomous, emission-free operation on long-distance routes without overhead power supply.

This prestigious project for the Mireo Plus H trains is a major breakthrough for Saft as it is the first time our LTO batteries have been used on a major commercial rail project, Saft said.

The adoption of this innovative technology for traction applications offers significant advantages over previous generations of Li-ion batteries, including improved safety and reliability, reduced CO2 emissions, longer life and more power, it added.
