First Hydrogen Train in the World

The Coradia iLint, the world's first commercial hydrogen-powered passenger train, debuted in September 2018 in Lower Saxony, Germany. Developed by Alstom, this innovative train leverages hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity, emitting only water vapor as a byproduct. This makes it a significant leap in sustainable transportation, particularly for non-electrified railway lines.

Features of World's first Hydrogen Train Coradia iLint's of Alstom

Clean Energy: The hydrogen fuel cells produce zero CO2 emissions, resulting in cleaner air and a reduced environmental impact.

Extended Range: With a range of up to 1,000 kilometers on a single refueling, the iLint can operate on longer routes without frequent refueling stops, unlike traditional diesel trains.

Quiet Operation: The hydrogen fuel cell system generates minimal noise, providing a quieter and more pleasant travel experience for passengers.

Top Speed: The Coradia iLint can reach speeds of up to 140 km per hour (87 mph).

Passenger Capacity: The train can comfortably seat up to 160 passengers.

The Coradia iLint represents a groundbreaking achievement in the development of hydrogen-powered transportation. As hydrogen fuel infrastructure continues to expand, these eco-friendly trains have the potential to revolutionize passenger rail travel and contribute to a more sustainable future
