Utah State University and the ASPIRE (Advancing Sustainability through Powered Infrastructure for Roadway Electrification) Engineering Research Center partnered with Swiss-based Stadler to develop and to test a battery-powered passenger train known as the Fast Light Intercity and Regional Train, or FLIRT.
This train will be the first of its kind in North America. The goal of the project is to develop and build a battery-powered two-car trainset. The battery FLIRT—a single-decker, lightweight train—is the solution for routes without end-to-end overhead electric infrastructure, enabling emission-free travel and allowing for longer routes.
