OVERVIEW
Reliable Starting for Demanding Railway Operations
KickStart is an advanced locomotive starting assist system that uses supercapacitor technology to provide additional cranking power during engine starts. By supporting the locomotive batteries during high-current starting events, KickStart helps prevent voltage drop, reduce battery strain, and ensure reliable engine starts in even the most demanding operating conditions.
Designed for freight and passenger locomotives, KickStart improves fleet availability, extends battery life, reduces maintenance requirements, and integrates seamlessly with Automatic Engine Stop-Start (AESS) systems to maximise fuel savings and operational efficiency.
Extended battery life and reduced battery strain
Seamless integration with AESS systems
Maintenance-free solid-state design
Voltage stabilisation during engine cranking
Reliable cold weather performance
Supercapacitor-assisted engine starting
