Parry People Movers Tram-Train Creating a vehicle as attractive as an electrified super tram with much lower running costs using lightweighting and innovative super hybrid technologies

阻止人们移动电车；创造一种创新的低碳交通方式，替代现有的重型铁路和电气化电车模式。JPM Parry及其合作伙伴管理并创建了其前身“139类”Parry People Mover Railcars。2009年，全国铁路网首次采用了每周7天的运营模式，这些创新的轨道车辆增加了服务频率，同时减少了三分之一的碳排放，运营成本降低了一半。PPM车辆以一个简单的目标引领了一个新的概念，使当地的铁路服务更实惠，更可持续，在该国被认为不需要铁路服务的部分地区，它可以实现节能的铁路旅行，并具有许多好处。这项技术还可以提高已经在运行的服务的可持续性，正如在西米德兰兹郡的斯图尔桥所证明的那样，在2010年，该试点服务的可靠性达到了99.4%，并在2011年初继续提高这一数字，尽管全国各地的寒冷天气使许多重型铁路车辆瘫痪。现在的挑战是如何利用这种经过验证的创新技术，即一个2.3升的小型汽车发动机与一个飞轮相结合，可以搭载多达60人，为一辆能够以更高速度搭载更多乘客的大型车辆提供动力。这些标准对于回应英国铁路行业的需求，以及创建一个可以在现有特许经营网络之外重新开放客运服务的服务至关重要。目前仅用于货运的铁路是恢复客运服务的直接候选者。为了适应这些情况，JPM Parry及其合作伙伴必须提高设计质量，以应对这些路线上典型的不太完美的轨道条件，同时确保设计符合“互操作性”的监管规范，即创新的轻型车辆在传统列车之间运行的能力。

Parry People Movers Tram Train; creates an innovative low carbon transport alternative toestablished heavy rail and electrified tram modes. JPM Parry and Associates have projectmanaged and created the 'Class 139' Parry People Mover Railcars, its precursors. A seven daya week first adoption operation on the national rail network, established 2009, has seen theseinnovative railcars increase service freqency whilst cutting carbon emissions by a third andoperating costs by half. Spearheading a new concept with a simple aim, to make local railservices more affordable and more sustainable, PPM vehicles enable energy efficient railtravel, with its many benefits, in parts of the country deemed not to warrant a rail service. Thetechnology can also enhance the sustainability of services already in operation, as proven atStourbridge in the West Midlands where the pilot service has achived reliability of 99.4%throughout 2010 and continued to better this figure during early months of 2011, despite thecold weather disabled many heavy rail vehicles all around the country.The challenge now is to harness this proven innovative technology, whereby a small 2.3 litrecar engine coupled to a flywheel enables the carriage of up to 60 people, to power a largervehicle capable of carrying greater numbers of passengers at a higher speed. These criteria arevital in order to respond to demands from the UK rail industry, as well as to create a servicethat can re-open passenger services away from the existing franchised network.Railways currently used only for freight are immediate candidates for a revived passengerservice. To be suitable for these circumstances, JPM Parry and Associates must enhance theride quality of the design to cope with less than perfect track conditions typical on these routeswhile ensuring that the designs meet regulatory specifications for 'interoperability', the abilityfor an innovative lightweight vehicles to run amongst conventional trains.
