ANGEL MOOTS HYBRID CLASS 175s

摘要

ANGEL TRAINS has suggested converting the Class 175 fleet to hybrid diesel and battery operation and cautioned that premature replacement of rolling stock incurs carbon emissions in vehicle construction. However, Transport for Wales, which currently leases the fleet, said the Class 197 CAF Civity DMUs which will replace the Class 175s in 2022 and 2023 will feature cleaner diesel engines, and development of a hybrid retrofit powerpack is already under way.
