Name of Technology: Five-Coach Centrally Powered Road Train Unit
Field / Industry: Transportation, Energy, M&E Industry
Patent Number / Registration Number: 3-2016-001007
Status of Application: On – going
Brief Description / Features of the Technology:
Urban transport has posed national challenges that need to be addressed through harnessing locally-available technology. The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) through the Metals Industry Research and Development Center (MIRDC) developed the hybrid Road Train. Its eventual adoption will provide hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) technology leading to capability advancement and competitiveness of HEV production in the country. The use of CRT reduces operational costs and pollutant emissions, hence, a technological solution to a broad range of urban transportation concerns.
