Proving safe inductive power transfer for trams

In September 2010, Bombardier Transportation installed the contactless and catenary-free PRIMOVE system for trams on a 800-metre section of Line 3 on the Augsburg trade fair centre. The pilot project was co-funded by the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) and realised in cooperation with the Augsburg Transport Authority (Stadtwerke Augsburg Verkehrs GmbH) with the aim of demonstrating reliable operation under the real conditions of daily operation in an urban environment.
