Purpose This paper outlines a complex simulation model for parallel-hybrid diesel railcars with hydrodynamic power transmission. It contributes to the discussion concerning whether a hydrostatic recuperation system can be an alternative to electric systems using double-layer capacitors or flywheels. The paper focusses on a hybrid system with realistic parameters concerning mass, power, and energy content that should be applicable to both existing and newly built vehicles.
