Study type: Research report
This report builds on the capability analysis and the simulation report to further investigate the feasibility of using alternative traction systems to achieve the necessary power. This is done using three of the four case studies previously selected. Further work will assess the costs and benefits of different architectures to explore a physical model and retrofitting plans.
