Rail Systems Design and Delivery
BCM can address every aspect of urban rail design and construction from Concept Phase through engineering, procurement, and delivery.
The BCM Ltd Difference
Infrastructure Simplified
BCM's extensive experience in designing and delivering urban tramway infrastructure using shallow trackforms and VLR/LRT rolling stock gives us a huge advantage in creating designs that can avoid costly utilities relocation — saving you millions per mile.
Self-Powered Vehicles
By carrying traction power onboard the vehicles and eliminating the need for wayside power systems, the project can be significantly simplified and rendered affordable for medium sized cities and towns.
Carbon-Neutral Options
From Zero-emission battery-only to fully carbon-neutral hydrogen/electric propulsion utilizing locally harvested renewable energy. Future-proof, powerful, and proven in years of public service.
International Safety Standards
All trams are designed, manufactured, and tested to comply with EN-50126, EN-50128, and EN-50129, as well as all applicable railway safety standards.
Although we recommend designing for uninterrupted battery service, if the client requires it, we can provide energy sources such as overhead contact or opportunity charging as well as onboard generation through HFC or CNG ICE. Batteries are charged and balanced each night. The vehicle is simply plugged into a QCDC wall unit at its berth in the Depot, using the supplied high-voltage charging system.
