Battery trains bring a breath of fresh air in Mecklenburg's local transport!
Parchim, Deutschland - The future of rail transport in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania looks promising. The first battery trains should be in use here from the end of 2027. The private East German railway company (ODEG) plans to implement 14 of these environmentally friendly trains in Westmecklenburg. The popular routes that are operated by ODEG include the routes from Rehna via Schwerin to Parchim, Parchim to Hagenow City, and goods (Müritz) to Malchow and seasonal traffic on the southern railway from Malchow/Parchim to Plau am See.
But the ODEG is not only on this mission. Deutsche Bahn is also planning to introduce its first battery trains in the local transport network Warnow II from 2026. The planned routes that will open up the southeast coast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are Wismar to Rostock and Bad Doberan in Graal-Müritz. As n-tv are delivered by the Stadler company and have a reach of about 100 kilometers. They can not only be used on electrically operated routes, but also on many non -electrified routes where the electricity comes from the batteries.
environmentally friendly local transport
The decision to use battery trains is an important step towards climate neutrality. Deutsche Bahn has the goal of becoming climate neutral by 2040. This is supported by the development and promotion of low -emission drive technologies. Around 80 percent of non -electrified routes in Germany can be used with these new trains, which offer a climate -friendly alternative to conventional diesel trains that have so far represented the majority in regional transport. The comfort of these trains is also worth mentioning: they offer a total of 99 seats, twelve bicycle parking spaces and modern equipment features such as WLAN, sockets and wheelchair -friendly toilets.
The maintenance workshop of the ODEG in Parchim is now being upgraded. The company is investing 18 million euros, with 11 million euros being funded by Land Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. This shows how serious it is with their plan to raise local transport in this region to a new, sustainable level.
experiences from other federal states
The first battery trains are already in use in other German federal states such as Schleswig-Holstein and gain important practical experience. DetailsOrt Parchim, Deutschland Quellen
