The Era of Domestic Batteries for Rail Systems Begins in Türkiye
Published
An important step has been taken to increase Türkiye's independence in the energy sector. ASPİLSAN Energy and TCDD Transportation organized a workshop for the first time to produce batteries used in rail systems using domestic resources. At this meeting, held on October 22, 2026, strategies to reduce Türkiye's foreign dependency in transportation technologies were discussed.
Rail systems are currently considered one of the most critical parts of urban and intercity transportation. Producing the batteries that meet the energy needs of these systems domestically will both provide cost advantages and contribute to the strengthening of the technological infrastructure. In the workshop, the process of localizing existing battery technologies and the technical requirements were addressed in detail.
ASPİLSAN Energy is known as one of Türkiye's leading organizations in the defense industry and energy storage solutions. This collaboration with TCDD Transportation aims to bring the institution's expertise into the transportation sector. Experts state that such domestic production projects will increase Türkiye's industrial capacity and raise the efficiency of the transportation network.
As a result of the meeting, it was decided to create a roadmap for the development of batteries to be used in rail systems. In the coming period, the production of prototypes for domestic batteries and the initiation of testing processes are expected. This initiative offers significant support to Türkiye's goal of becoming a self-sufficient country in transportation technologies.
