Long Term Passenger Rolling Stock Strategy for the Rail Industry
01/02/2014ATOC SearchResearchItemsWith the assumptions and scenarios modelled the total size of the national fleet could grow by between 53% and 99% over 30 years, while the proportion of electric (and bi-mode) vehicles could rise from 69% today to more than 90% over the same period. The consequence of the modelled scenarios is that between 13,000 and 19,000 new electric vehicles would be required over the next 30 years, taking account of growth, electrification, replacement by 2043 of most BR-procured vehicles, and HS2. This equates to a build rate of between 8 and 12 electric vehicles per week and may be compared with an average build rate of just four (diesel and electric) vehicles per week in CP4.
