Train Battery Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

A train battery, is a type of rechargeable battery that powers a locomotive, tramway vehicle, or light rail car. The term "traction" refers to the wheels that propel these vehicles, and "traction batteries" are also known as "track-circuit batteries" at times. It also refers to the source of power for electric locomotives, which are now almost always powered by diesel engines or alternators.

Global Train Battery Market Dynamics

Drivers

• rising inclination towards energy-efficient solutions

The key factors that drive the train battery market growth are increasing demand for locomotives for maximum full load output and maintaining electrical load in trains even when the train is stopped in emergencies. Furthermore, rising inclination of locomotive operators toward energy-efficient systems and rising demand for fuel alternatives due to global depletion of fuel sources are supporting factors expected to drive market growth.

• Development of advanced battery technologies

Furthermore, advancements in advanced battery technologies and growing urban infrastructure in developing and emerging economies around the world are expected to drive the train battery market during the forecast period.
