In the future, the train will be climate-neutral. But this has so far been prevented by large gaps in electrification in Germany. New drives and innovative storage technologies can help.
Since more than 120 years ago, the Prussian military railway from Berlin-Marienfelde to Jüterbog was electrified with a three-phase contact wire over a length of 33 kilometers, the electricity for the railway has come from the overhead line. At up to 210 kilometers per hour, the electric locomotives used on this route for high-speed tests ran almost as fast as today's ICE. At that time, electrification via overhead lines revolutionized rail transport. But since then in
