4. Operating Principle

5. TramWave: main benefits for sustainable urban mobility
Make the urban context more liveable, removing the visual impact of overhead catenaries and poles from squares, buildings, monuments, historical areas, etc…
Continuous power transmission from contact line to vehicles without any interruption/charging times (for both traction and auxiliaries)
No need of on-board big and heavy storage energy systems (supercapacitors)
No need of electronic or induction devices
The closing of the traction electric circuit doesn’t foreseen the use of the tracks  no more problem due to the effects of stray currents, preserving the underground utilities (water and gas pipelines, electricity network underground cables, etc…) and the rails from electrolysis effects  less maintenance costs.
Possibility to have a mixed power-supply system, by mean having Tramwave and traditional catenaries on the same tramway line (ex. Tramwave in the historical centres and catenaries in the suburbs), moreover it’s possible to feed with Tramwave rubber tired vehicles like busses
Regenerative Breaking and energy saving
