DVT used as test bed for new transmission

Reminds me of the Danish Railways InterCity EMUs that I sometimes see at Hamburg Hbf. They're ugly too.

The "new" end is purely a shunt only cab.

Certainly fell out the Ugly Tree and hit every branch on the way down

It has a high intensity headlight as well, do they need those for shunting or might it be expected to move by itself on the mainline?

Another video of it in action.

Looks like a standard off the shelf light cluster, I wouldn't read to much into it.

All seems to have gone quiet on this project.

 

Have there been any developments in the past 18 months or so?

Their case study here http://www.artemisip.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/190325-Railway-Gazette-case-study.pdf suggests to me the funded research project is over and they're looking for commercial partners to commercialize.

I liked the final bit that the design made it onto a revenue earning 170 to prove itself in a real life environment.

I noticed today that Artemis was purchased by a Danish company; Danfoss, who have stated they plan to use the technology for off-highway equipment. Wonder what that means for the Class 19?

Any idea which one and how it is getting on?

It appears the project simply ended as it was just to prove the technology works.  digitaldisplacement are very focussed on using the technology on plant, maybe that is a bigger market, but the hydraulic element could be used with batteries so perhaps as the battery electrics get developed then there is still a place where the Artemis proof of concept can be developed.

 

ArtemisIP was set up by Mitsibushi in Edinburgh, they are into heavy plant and machinery which would benefit from the technology.
