Tesla is set to deploy battery-powered trains to allow its German employees to reach Giga Berlin.
We previously discussed the absurdity of Tesla’s Berlin factory employees commuting each day on a diesel-powered train. In terms of image, it’s fair to say it was quite mediocre. The employees of Tesla’s Giga Berlin will soon board brand new Siemens electric trains to get to work. The American car manufacturer has finally decided to electrify the specific rail shuttle set up for its workers.
Tesla finally 100% electric!
At Tesla, responsiveness is a hallmark. Therefore, it did not take long for them to rectify the situation by switching to battery-powered trains. The company operating the railway for Tesla, Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn (NEB), will see its contract end in a few days. Siemens will immediately take over to operate a beautiful new range of Zero Emission electric trains.
The shuttle service is straightforward and currently lasts only 12 minutes without stops from the center of Berlin. It is only five kilometers long and makes about 60 trips per day from Monday to Friday. A highly anticipated addition, the shuttle will soon take a break. In its expansion plan, Tesla has indeed incorporated a freight station and logistical facilities near the factory itself. Giga Berlin will be paused for 5 days to allow this setup to be installed. Is that the only reason for this forced stop? No one can say for certain today…
