A SEMINAR ABSTRACT

HYDROGEN POWERED TRAIN

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.
