The new TALENT 3, equipped with batteries, will solve the challenges of operational flexibility

The TALENT 3 also represents the first time an electrical multiple unit TALENT train is available with a BOMBARDIER PRIMOVE lithium-ion battery system

Bombardier’s Centre of Excellence in Propulsion Systems in Trápaga, one of the most advanced centres in the world thanks to its commitment to innovation, has cooperated in the development of the new mechanical concept of the TALENT 3 chain of traction, the evolution of the train Talent 2.. The new TALENT 3 combines the experience and knowledge already present in different projects carried out by Bombardier, where the Trápaga’s plant is leading the development of these systems.

The TALENT 3 also represents the first time an electrical multiple unit TALENT train is available with a BOMBARDIER PRIMOVE lithium-ion battery system. This new generation of trains will provide an environmentally friendly alternative to diesel trains operating on non-electrified lines, reducing noise pollution and emissions while making rail passenger transport cleaner and more attractive. Operators and passengers will also benefit from a battery technology that eliminates the need to change trains when bridging non-electrified track sections.

Rail operators are facing a particularly difficult challenge: how to deliver cost-effective, flexible and reliable mobility in an environment of strong competition, rising energy costs and fluctuating demand. In response, Bombardier has developed the BOMBARDIER TALENT 3 platform, an innovative train concept that combines operational flexibility and efficiency with increased safety. Its advantages include:

◗ New, innovative IT solutions have significantly optimized railway processes, delivering important benefits to operators.

◗ A future-oriented European solution: unique, revolutionary, efficient, safe, reliable, and easy to maintain.

◗ By leveraging data from the existing TALENT fleet, designers and engineers have succeeded in optimizing maintenance measures and significantly reducing lifecycle costs.

◗Equipped with ETCS and able to operate across borders on the various European rail power systems.

◗Its compliance with TSI and EN standardization has enabled it to be approved for operation throughout Europe.
