  • Improving the Energy Efficiency of High Speed Rail and Life Cycle Comparison with Other Modes of Transport
    Imperial College London Department of Mechanical Engineering Improving the energy efficiency of high speed rail and life cycle comparison with other modes of transport Jing Zhou September 2014 Thesis submitted for the Diploma of Imperial College (DIC) PhD degree of Imperial College London 1 2 I declare that this written work is original work of which I am the sole author and written in my own words, except where other sources are acknowledged. 3 4 Copyright Declaration The copyright of this thesis rests with the author and is made available under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives licence.

High speed rail, increasingly viewed as an effective solution to inter-city passenger transportation challenge of the 21st century, has the significant ability of increasing passenger capacity and reducing journey time. The advent of high speed rail provided many research opportunities. So far studies have been contributed from different perspectives: economical, environmental, and technical. The main research gaps are: addressing the problem of the effects of route geometry on train energy consumption and quantifying the contributing factors towards differences in energy consumption between different types of high speed trains.

  • The Rise and Fall of Bombardier
    THE HARTMANN PAPERS: The Rise and Fall of Bombardier The first report of the expected CSeries aircraft purchase by Delta Airlines appeared in public media in mid-April 2016, and the extremely high degree of confidence with which this order was predicted pointed to the only obvious source - Bombardier. In the next two weeks until Delta actually made it official, a media circus was unleashed that had all the hallmarks of a good American TV infomercial sponsored by, again, Bombardier. It was, and still is, a well coordinated corporate marketing campaign with grossly misleading statements, buzz words from Bombardier’s junior marketing guy’s dictionary, and a focus concentrated on very few narrow and specific issues to the total exclusion of hard true facts. To this day the media repeat the “$5.6 billion value” of the Delta deal, even though Bombardier itself tacitly acknowledged - and never disputed - the reported 75% discount which brings the deal down to a mere $1.4 billion. Bombardier already announced a $500 million write-off on this “onerous deal”, acknowledged that it is not going to make profit on its CSeries aircraft until 2021, and the Airbus sales chief, who is the one who ought to know, claims that Bombardier is losing $7 million on each Delta aircraft. So when will Bombardier start making profit, and how will it pay off the accumulated multi-billion $ loses with single-digit-millions of profits made on aircraft in 5 or 10 years? The CSeries is being presented as a “game changer” and a sort of revolutionary aircraft that guarantees Bombardier’s great future.

    Environment & Climate Change Canada – Contract No. 30000704788 Assessment of the Design, Deployment Characteristics and Requirements of a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Powered Switcher Locomotive Report of the Phase I Work Plan Prepared for: Technical Authority for the contract: Paul Izdebski, Policy Analyst June 2020 Prepared by: Change Energy Services Inc. on behalf of the Project Team CAD Railway Industries Change Energy Services Hydrogenics Telligence Group As this report is produced under contract to ECCC, any disclosure, use, or duplication of this document or any information contained within, is prohibited except as may otherwise be agreed to in writing. Environment & Climate Change Canada – Contract No. 30000704788 Assessment of the Design, Deployment Characteristics and Requirements of a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Powered Switcher Locomotive A NOTE ON HYDROGEN SAFETY Most people have little or no experience in handling hydrogen. By contrast, most people are quite familiar with gasoline, propane and natural gas. We have confidence in handling hazardous substances when we understand the risks and know the safe procedures. Hydrogen is not inherently more or less dangerous than other fuels, but the circumstances that give rise to risk are often different (as are the practices that enhance safety). Internationally recognized standards exist for the safe use of hydrogen and for training of first responders. That is why hydrogen is commonly used as an industrial gas in many manufacturing processes, and why it is available at public refuelling forecourts in Asia, Europe and North America. Currently, there are nearly 10,000 hydrogen-fuelled passenger cars registered in California, supported by a network of roughly 40 hydrogen refuelling stations.
