Alstom APS
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Alstom_APS
Alstom APS, also known as Alimentation par Sol or Alimentation Par le Sol (which literally means "feeding via the ground"), is a form of ground-level power supply for street trams and, potentially, other vehicles. APS was developed by Innorail, a subsidiary of Spie Enertrans but was sold to Alstom when Spie was acquired by Amec. It was originally created for the Bordeaux tramway, which was constructed from 2000 and opened in 2003. From 2011, the technology has been used in a number of other cities around the world.

APS is used, primarily for aesthetic reasons, as an alternative to overhead lines. As such it competes with other ground-level power supply systems, but also with energy storage systems such as batteries. In 2015, Alstom developed a derivative of APS, (Système de Recharge statique par le sol or static-based ground charging system), which can be used to recharge battery powered trams and buses whilst they are stationary at stops.
