Civity is a perfect solution for customers looking for fleets of trains with high passenger capacities. Thanks to its modular nature, operating companies can adapt the configuration of their trains by adding or removing intermediate cars based on passenger demand.
Civity platform includes trains with different types of traction based on a single concept of a modular, low-floor vehicle. Civity trains are available with the following types of traction:
Civity trains with all types of traction can be equipped with batteries. These can be used to move the train without external power supply or to provide extra power to the train when there is a limitation in the catenary power. Batteries can also enable energy storage during braking reducing energy consumption.
CAF energy storage systems are modular and configurable, making them easily adaptable to requirements of each customer.
CAF has battery powered rolling stock in revenue service since 2010: Seville Tramway, Saragossa Tramway, Birmingham Tramway or Kaohsiung Tramway among others.
