Contact-wire and on-board battery hybrid electric railway vehicle can be defined as electric energy source hybrid electric vehicle that can drive by the energy from either contact-wire collection or on-board storage battery or from both of energy, and that can return the regenerative brake energy to either or both of the two sources. Then it can reuse the regenerative electric energy effectively. And contact-wire-less electric drive is also available by the on-board battery stored energy in non-electrified lines. We carried out the development and fabrication of a contact-wire and on-board battery hybrid light rail vehicle, and data acquisition of the running tests on the tram line at Sapporo City Transportation Bureau and on the railway main line at JR Shikoku, such as one charge running distance by catenary free operation, comparison of the consumed energy against the conventional type of inverter vehicles by hybrid running. In this paper, we reports on the running test results of our new contact-wire and battery hybrid LRV.
