SAFT Battery – MRX 280

Delivering high-energy and power performance

MRX on-board compact, lightweight and adaptable batteries provide a reliable, always-available source of high energy and power to ensure: passenger safety (on-board signaling, security lighting, door control and communication networks); passenger comfort (ventilation, air-conditioning, lighting, Wi-Fi); and fail-safe train start-up (pantograph lift-up, computing, electronics). Their high energy and power performance makes them ideal for the continuous, everyday use required for on-board backup on all types of modern electric trains including urban, regional and intercity transport.
