A railway vehicle is provided with a pantograph movable under the action of a moving device between a raised position, in which it is able to cooperate in contact, in use, with a catenary conductor cable for drawing electrical energy, and a lowered position, in which it is lower than the height where, in use, such catenary is provided; the vehicle is provided with a battery pack and a control system for controlling the moving device and therefore lowering/raising the pantograph; the control system has a microprocessor control unit configured to control the moving device in response to signals containing information indicative of the actual position of the vehicle, and/or indicative of the presence or absence of the conductor cable in the vicinity of the vehicle.
