Choo-choo without CO2: World’s first hydrogen-powered train enters service in Germany - lithium ion cell
It is equipped with fuel cells that convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity, thus eliminating pollutant emissions associated with propulsion.
According to the fixed schedule of Lower Saxony, two such trains will enter commercial services.
"It's a revolution for Alstom and the future of mobile.
The world's first hydrogen fuel cell train is entering passenger service and preparing for mass production . "
Lafarge, chairman and chief executive officer of Alstom.
"Coradia iLint heralds a new era of emissions --
Free rail transport.
This is an innovation from France.
The intersection of teamwork and success in Germany
Border cooperation.
"Hydrail operates with electricity obtained from a lithium-ion battery, which is powered by a fuel cell, using a hydrogen tank stored on the roof of the train.
The energy storage equipment is controlled by the intelligent energy management system and is the pride of the developers. The low-noise, zero-
The emission train can reach 140 kilometers per hour.
They're going to be in bookstehood, about 100 kilometers-Bremervorde-Bremerhaven-
Cuxhaven regional line in Lower Saxony.
They will be refueled by a mobile hydrogen gas station.
Gas hydrogen will be from 40-foot-
High steel container next to Bremervorde station rail.
A tank can run all day on the entire network.
A fixed gas station is scheduled to be put into operation in 2021.
Last year, Alstom reached an agreement with the Lower Saxony local transportation authority to deliver 14 hydrogen fuel cell trains and provide 30 years of maintenance and energy supply. “The emission-

Friendly alternative to traditional diesel trains, especially in the non-

"In order to successfully demonstrate the operability of fuel cell technology in daily service, we will set a direction for rail transport to operate to a large extent --
Friendly and emission
"The future is free," he added . ".
