    This is just marketing. Electrified trains have used break energy recuperation for decades now. Nothing groundbreaking there. Second, the forces involved in trains accelerating and breaking are tremendous. Using a battery there is just nonsense compared to distribution over a grid. To store such an amount of energy, the battery must have the size of several coaches.
