ET25 A low-emission express passenger rail service for ACT
In the second presentation of the Energy Transition 2025 series, David Glynne Jones will present a concept proposal for implementation of an express passenger rail service between Canberra and Sydney, based on repowering of existing XPT diesel-electric trainsets with bi-mode battery-electric traction systems.
The proposal describes how a low-emission Canberra-Sydney rail transit time of 3 hours 15 minutes could be achieved before 2030, using the existing rail route.
David Glynne Jones is an independent advocate for the adoption of renewable energy and electrification across all sectors of the Australian economy. He is currently assessing the implications of emerging advanced battery technology for electrification of the Australian transport sector and, together with his colleague Derek Woolner
