Saft on Track for Growth in Brazil's Rail Sector With Major Battery contract for CAR's Suburban Electric Trains
12/7/2014
Saft MRX battery systems ensure autonomous operation for critical control and safety functions on 10 new suburban EMU trains constructed by CAF for the city of Belo Horizonte in South West Brazil.
Paris, December 4, 2014 - Saft, world leader in the design, development and manufacture of high-tech batteries for industry, has delivered onboard battery systems for 10 new EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) trainsets constructed by CAF (Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles S.A.) for suburban passenger services in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte. Two Saft MRX nickel-based battery systems have been installed on each of the four-car trainsets built by CAF for CBTU (Companhia Brasileira de Trens Urbanos) to ensure fully autonomous operation for critical control and safety functions in the event of an interruption to the main power supply.
The Belo Horizonte suburban train project has further extended Saft's penetration into Brazil's fast-growing railway market, aided by its local sales and technical support office that opened in Brazil in 2010, as well as strengthening its global cooperation with CAF, Spain's largest manufacturer of rolling stock.
態razil's railway sector is a particularly important market sector for Saft due to the country's current emphasis on the expansion of its mass transportation network. The successful delivery of this significant project for Belo Horizonte is further confirmation of our capability to meet the specific needs of Brazil's railways in terms of performance, reliability and long life,' says Xavier Delacroix, General Manager of Saft's IBG Division. 慦e are also very pleased to have completed yet another global project in cooperation with CAF, continuing our very effective working relationship.'
Brazil - a growing railway market
Brazil's railway technology market has shown dynamic growth due to two major drivers. First, the increasing volumes of raw materials that need transportation has promoted investments in freight railway lines, mainly by major mining companies. Second, the major sporting events of the FIFA World Cup 2014 and the Olympic Games 2016 have influenced the upgrading of suburban and urban transport systems.
Belo Horizonte, which was a host city for the 2014 World Cup and also a sub-host city for the 2016 Olympics, has an urgent need for new mobility services. Today the city is home to 2.5 million people, and this population boom has caused an immense strain on the city's infrastructure, with high levels of traffic congestion and air pollution. To improve this situation, the city has created a comprehensive urban mobility plan (PlanMob BH) with the aim to increase mass transit's share of passenger journeys to an ambitious 70 percent by 2030.
A key element in Belo Horizonte's urban mobility plan is CBTU's new suburban trains. In 2012, CAF signed the contract to deliver 10 state-of-the-art bidirectional electric units, with a passenger capacity of 1,300 and designed to facilitate train access for persons with reduced mobility.
Saft MRX batteries provide vital backup power
CAF has fitted each Belo Horizonte trainset with two Saft MRX battery systems to provide vital backup power for critical onboard systems for around 90 minutes if the main power supply is interrupted. The MRX design delivers maximum performance, reliability and low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) within a low maintenance, compact, lightweight block battery package that shows a major size and volume advantage compared with conventional batteries. Topping-up with water is made fast and simple thanks to the integrated water filling system.
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
