Proposed Battery Powered Trains
rob ford made this Official Information request to Auckland Transport
The request was successful.
From: rob ford
Dear Auckland Transport,
Len Brown suggested that battery powered trains may be used to extend Auckland's electrified train service to Pukekohe.
Can you please respond on the following?:
* What is the estimated cost associated with purchasing a new battery train and retrofitting an existing unit?
* Has testing of this technology succeeded?
* If the testing is not yet complete, when is it expected to be completed?
* If the testing was successful, when is the estimated date of delivery?
* If the testing was unsuccessful, will full electrification to Pukekohe be brought forward?
Yours faithfully,
Rob Ford
