The new technology is based on an onboard energy storage system (OBESS), with scalable battery capacity. It can be installed directly on the roof of existing trams - saving on costs, and visual impact – all while ensuring better environmental performance for a more sustainable society. In Florence, battery powered trams have been tested since 2021.

In MTS trams, the Ni-MH battery features rated energy and power of 18 kWh and 85 kW, respectively, while the supercapacitors' rated power output is 288 kW. The total weight of the hybrid storage system is 1646 kg, resulting in specific energy and power of 11.45 Wh/kg and 226 W/kg, respectively.
In Florence, battery powered trams have been tested since 2021. Fitted to trams on the existing Sirio fleet, the battery technology enables the trams to operate on a section of the line entirely under battery power, without the use of overhead infrastructure.
