Modernizing power systems to ensure safe and reliable care for the wounded on their journey to recovery.

🚆 With the start of the full-scale invasion, it became essential to transport huge number of seriously wounded patients from hospitals in the frontline regions to the rear ones by train. The first medical train car was created in early March 2022. Railroad workers and medics re-equipped the first car in 4 days. Around 70 train cars are involved in medical evacuation in Ukraine right now, some of these are the intensive care for the seriously injured. All medical equipment in train cars is powered by diesel generators, with fuel being transported in the same wagons for this purpose. However, this method of powering medical equipment poses inherent risks, as it is highly sensitive to voltage fluctuations. Such fluctuations can result in equipment failure or breakdown, leading to critical situations for both medical staff and patients. Additionally, diesel generators produce significant noise and soot emissions. These emissions pose life-threatening hazards and can be detrimental to the health of both the wounded and medical staff. 🚝⚡️Together with АТ "Укрзалізниця", a state-owned company administering railway infrastructure and rail transport in Ukraine, Ukraine2Power is working on modernisation of hospitals on wheels. We aim to retrofit train cars with modern power equipment to ensure the train's autonomous operation, even when stationary or moving at low speeds that render the railcar's power grid ineffective. This involves installing modern lithium batteries and inverters to deliver high-quality electricity to medical equipment. ☀️ Help the wounded to get medical care in time: https://lnkd.in/dUt7jtKE All donations from Germany are tax deductible.
