Cost of Tram vs BRT : r/MelbourneTrains
Trackless trams are of similar costs to normal trams, but requires significant upfront capital investment to develop, manufacture and ensure operational capabilities. Would also have a high opportunity cost given you could lose normal tram making capabilities. The new F class trams are quite expensive, but the price will reduce over time.
New design for lithium-air battery could offer much longer driving ...
Many owners of electric cars have wished for a battery pack that could power their vehicle for more than a thousand miles on a single charge. Researchers at the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) and U.S. Department of Energy''s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have developed a lithium-air battery that could make that dream a …
Powering trams
These losses also occur under braking, so in total we lose around 3MJ; much higher than the energy actually required to move the tram. How can we improve things? To begin with, if you introduce a small energy store onboard the vehicle, it would be possible to recover more of the kinetic energy, and any energy losses in the line would be …

LiPo batteries are generally safer and more environmentally friendly than other R/C batteries like NiCd and NiMH. LiPo batteries have become the most common high performance R/C battery and are used in R/C cars, boats, planes, helis, multirotors, and more. However, if charged, discharged, stored, maintained, or handled improperly, they …
Trams in Bendigo
The first trams in Bendigo were battery operated, but only lasted three months before being withdrawn due to their unreliability. A steam tram system commenced operation in 1892 operated by the Bendigo Tramways Company Limited, and lasted until 1902. [3] Electric trams commenced in 1903 operated by the Electric Supply Company of Victoria, …
