Forsee Power electrifies Socofer’s maintenance locomotives

Since 2020, we supply the railway manufacturer Socofer, selected by Getlink (formerly Eurotunnel) to equip 19 maintenance locomotives. It integrates the Forsee Power FLEX 7 batteries already proven in many Transport projects (buses, industrial vehicles, boats), composed of NMC type lithium-ion technologies combining energy and power. The goal is to replace the current diesel locomotives with a 100% electric solution.

The mission of Socofer and Forsee Power meets a precise specification, on three rolling equipment in charge of the maintenance of terrestrial and submarine infrastructures: the cleaning trains, the catenary trains and the PRD trains – for the maintenance of the pressure relief duct.

Wrightbus’ StreetAir EV bus runs 18-hour service with FLEX 7

Since 2013, Forsee Power has been the battery partner of Wrightbus when it comes 100%-electric bus applications. Wrightbus equips its StreetAir EV buses with robustness batteries, which require an outstanding lifespan, and was concerned about the recharge rate. Forsee Power recommended its FLEX 7 battery systems with no need to charge the battery during the whole day and with over 10 years of lifespan .

The performance of this 300 kWh battery solution on-board – 6 string of 7 modules per bus –  makes it easy for the 10.6-meter-long single deck to cover up to 200 miles before charging is required.
