Applogies if this is a duplicate -- I did a search on Vivarail and didn't find the news.

"UK: Great Western Railway has agreed contracts to buy Vivarail’s battery train related assets, saying this will secure the future of planned trials of the technology in London.

The deal announced on February 16 includes intellectual property, rolling stock and equipment relating to the development of high-performance battery and FastCharge technology by Vivarail, which went into administration in December. GWR has also employed nine former Vivarail staff."

Deal does not include Transport for Wales rolling stock.
