has claimed by the opponents of the metropolitan tram Cádiz Bay bypassed the old town of Cadiz, echoing the "hoax" that encouraged the municipal government of the PP, the width of the tram and that would make it impossible catenary the urban area traffic and afearía the facades of the city. El Diario de Sevilla published today released information that completely dismantles the lies. Trams and moving closer ultracapacitor and battery powered! 
The first of the five new trams Metrocentro, 25 inches narrower than the present and powered by ultracapacitors and batteries, come to Sevilla in the next ten days with several years behind the CAF provided by the manufacturer and is expected to run four in March. The objective is to definitively catenary 600 meters that run through the historic area of \u200b\u200bthe environment of the Cathedral, that is, from the Plaza Nueva to stop the Archive of the Indies. At the moment neither the street nor the San Fernando Puerta de Jerez and the Prado are included in this cosmetic enhancement.
(.....). The other four new CAF trains will deliver in exchange for old ones, which cost 12 million to the city. 
The first of the five new trams Metrocentro, 25 inches narrower than the present and powered by ultracapacitors and batteries, come to Sevilla in the next ten days with several years behind the CAF provided by the manufacturer and is expected to run four in March. The objective is to definitively catenary 600 meters that run through the historic area of \u200b\u200bthe environment of the Cathedral, that is, from the Plaza Nueva to stop the Archive of the Indies. At the moment neither the street nor the San Fernando Puerta de Jerez and the Prado are included in this cosmetic enhancement. Trains move ACR technology patented by CAF and can operate without catenary power because they take energy ultracapacitors and batteries placed on the roof two points together weighing 3,600 kilos. According to Luis Terradillos, commercial director of projects at national CAF, the company was committed to take "a revolutionary system where few trusted" and "we already have the train battery, which needs a lot of energy and recharge more regularly the cars. " He stressed to the press moved to Linares is a English technology developed in CAF-Santana completely "reliable" because it has been no impact on more than 10,000 operations without catenary and the 5,200 miles that has circulated with passengers in Sevilla (placed one of the trains are now going to replace) from Easter 2010.
Contrary to what the company says ("We have been pioneers in the global world," said Terradillos), a battery-rail system is not new in the world. Tussam technicians confirm that a battery tram has been tried before without enthusiasm by other manufacturers like Siemens and Bombardier in cities of Portugal and Germany. The novelty of CAF is that for the first time a battery out of the test phase to really work in the commercial exploitation of a tram line: The Metro de Sevilla. Del Sevilla successfully it will determine whether the closure manufacturer contracts with Zaragoza, Granada and European cities interested. To Bordeaux, which works with catenary underground tram (third lane), wants to see.
admitted yesterday as Lucio Alfonso, director of CAF-Santana, "The success of this train of Seville is also the success of this company, which recently cut a template with ERE" to fit the yield curve "and adjusted after two years of strong exports. And this despite having to deal with large orders now rail: more trains for the Metro de Sevilla, the Metro Malaga and Granada, the Bay of Cádiz tram. The company recognizes that its technology is now "expensive" but expects mass production to reduce little by little the weight, cost and size of batteries, said Iosu Ibarbia, project ACR.
