Siemens Mobility and Deutsche Bahn have started developing hydrogen-powered fuel cell trains and a filling station, which will be trialed in 2024 with view to replace diesel engines on German local rail networks.
As part of efforts to tackle the climate crisis and achieve carbon neutrality, Germany's state-owned rail company Deutsche Bahn (DB) announced it will begin testing a new hydrogen train set.Developed in partnership with Siemens, instead of burning conventional diesel fuel, the unit is powered from a reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to create electricity. Water is the only byproduct.
With a range of 600 kilometers (around 400 miles) and top speed of 160 kilometers an hour, Deutsche Bahn believes the new train unit could prevent around 330 tons of carbon dioxide pollution a year - Link - more like this - link
