Debut of the Alstom Coradia iLint, a hydrogen-powered passenger train, at InnoTrans 2016. In transportation, the original (2003) generic term "hydrail" includes hydrogen trains, zero-emission multiple units, or ZEMUs — generic terms describing rail vehicles, large or small, which use on-board hydrogen fuel as a source of energy to power the traction motors, or the auxiliaries, or both.
The Coradia iLint is a version of the Coradia Lint 54 powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. [6] Announced at InnoTrans 2016 , the new model is the world's first production hydrogen-powered trainset . The Coradia iLint is able to reach 140 kilometres per hour (87 mph) and travel 600–800 kilometres (370–500 mi) on a full tank of hydrogen.
BMW H2R. Musashi 9 Liquid hydrogen truck. A hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicle (HICEV) is a type of hydrogen vehicle using an internal combustion engine. [1] Hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicles are different from hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (which utilize hydrogen electrochemically rather than through combustion).
Germany officially has the world's first passenger rail line run entirely on hydrogen-powered trains. See photos of the groundbreaking train.
The world’s first commercial train powered entirely by hydrogen fuel cells took to the tracks today in northern Germany. The Coradia iLint, developed by French rail company Alstom, will now ...
The company's fuel cells convert hydrogen into electricity, which is fed into batteries that power the train's motors. The vehicle's brakes capture excess energy, improving efficiency.
The rail cars are full of thousands of tons of iron ore on the way down to Narvik, and these trains generate large amounts of electricity by regenerative braking, with a maximum recuperative braking force of 750 kN. From Riksgränsen on the national border to the Port of Narvik, the trains [14] use only a fifth of the power they regenerate.
The Zillertalbahn will then be the first fully hydrogen-powered small-gauge railway in the world. Hydrogen will be produced locally in Mayrhofen, where fuelling will take place in an all-new station. The five hydrogen-fuelled trainsets were set to achieve operational status by 2022, but financing issues postponed operation to winter 2024/25. [4]
