This paper is focused on contemporary posibilities of replacement diesel-powered railcars by accumulator powered railcars in regional railway traffic. In the first part of the paper, there are described advantages and disadvantages of this replacement. In the second part are presented the simulation counts and the simulation results of the drive of an accumulator powered railcar on the railway line Šumperk - Kouty nad Desnou. At the last part of this paper is shown the experimental accumulator powered railcar, which was built at University of Pardubice, and the energy research, that is realized with this railcar at railway line Mladějov na Moravě - Hřebeč.
