Electric traction
Electric traction refers to the use of electricity to power vehicles, such as trains, trams, and trolleybuses, that move people or goods. Instead of traditional fuels like diesel or petrol, these vehicles draw electrical energy from overhead wires, underground conduits, or onboard batteries. This method is efficient, environmentally friendly, and reduces air pollution. Electric traction systems often include motors that convert electrical energy into motion, providing smooth and reliable operation. They are commonly used in urban transit and rail networks for cleaner, faster, and more sustainable transportation.
