Electrification

Advancements in power and control technologies are making the electrification of our traditional transport modes more energy efficient and economical.

Creating Enduring Solutions

Today, electrified mobility is fast becoming the norm particularly in urban areas as innovation catches up with the needs of the community.

The electrification of our transport modes presents government, businesses and communities with a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create enduring solutions that prioritise people and planet. Electrification creates a more sustainable transport mode and stimulates change through new value propositions, reframing energy networks, and enabling collaboration throughout the supply chain as well economic prosperity through job creation.

SYSTRA helps our clients transition their bus, rail and road-based vehicles to relevant net zero multi-energy technologies.

Rail Electrification

The connections created more than a century ago often still exist today. SYSTRA offers a full range of expertise either optimising existing infrastructure or establishing new systems that account for a changing energy mix, production and distribution with the aim of reducing its environmental impact.

Traction Power

Traction power is one of the most important parts of a railway system. It is responsible for providing the electricity to power rolling stock and other operating equipment. With traction power systems built according to the type of railway, location and the technology available at the time, SYSTRA’s decades of global expertise provides a unique vantage point for clients looking to improve the performance of their railway networks.
