German officials launched what they say is the world's first fleet of hydrogen-powered passenger trains on Wednesday(24th Aug 2022), replacing 15 diesel trains that previously operated on nonelectrified tracks in the state of Lower Saxony. The 14 trains use hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity that powers the engines. The German government has backed expanding the use of hydrogen as a clean alternative to fossil fuels.
State governor Stephan Weil said the 93-million-euro (USD 92 million) project was an "excellent example" for Lower Saxony's efforts to make its economy greener.
The trains manufactured by French company "Alstom" are operated by regional rail company LNVG on routes between the northern towns of Cuxhaven, Bremerhaven, Bremervoerde, and Buxtehude.
Alstom says the
Coradia iLint trains have a range of up to
1,000 kilometres (621 miles) and a
maximum speed of 140 kph (87 mph)..
