Germany now operates the world's first hydrogen fuel cell-powered passenger trains called Coradia iLint, which produce zero emissions and can travel at speeds up to 140 km/h on a single tank of hydrogen similar to diesel trains. These trains replace diesel trains on one route and are part of Germany's effort to move from polluting diesel trains to more expensive but environmentally friendly hydrogen power technology.

Germany now has a hydrogen fuel cell-powered train, which is a
world’s first. The trains are officially called as Coradia iLint. This is the first time in the world that commercial trains being powered by hydrogen-based cells have gone into use for passengers. The idea with these hydrogen based trains is to move away from diesel based systems, which cause more pollution emissions. The trains are low-noise, zero- emission and can reach speeds of up to 140 km per hour, according to the company. These will replace the current diesel fleet on the train line and help reduce emissions. These trains can run for about 600 miles (1,000km) on a single tank of hydrogen, similar to the range of diesel trains. The world’s first hydrogen-powered train, signaling the start of a push to challenge the might of polluting diesel trains with costlier but more eco-friendly technology.
