Green & quiet: Germany gets world’s 1st zero-emission hydrogen-powered train - lithium ion cell

The coradia ilint train developed by Alstom, France, was presented to the public on Tuesday.
"Alstom is proud to showcase breakthrough innovations in the clean transport sector," Henry pupart, Chairman and CEO of the company-
Laf said in a statement.
Hydrail will be the first hydrogen passenger train to run long distances on a regular basis.
It will be running on Buxtehude in Germany on December 2017Bremervörde-Bremerhaven-
According to the World newspaper, The Cuxhaven regional line is located in Lower Saxony.
According to the Railway Bulletin, the letter of intent has also been signed with four German lands for 60 hydrail trains, and it is expected that 40 to 70 will be ordered by the end of 2017.
The outlet also said the transport authorities in Baden
Fort Fu, Hesen and North Rhine-
Westphalia has expressed interest in obtaining hydraulic systems, which developers claim countries including Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands also want.
Hydrail operates with electricity obtained from lithium-ion batteries, which are powered by fuel cells that use hydrogen tanks stored on the roof of the train.
The energy storage equipment is controlled by the intelligent energy management system and is the pride of the developers.
Since it is completely carbon dioxide, the hydrogen power supply technology is environmental friendlyemission-
Free, so no air pollution, provides a replacement for diesel
Power trains used all over Germany.
And plans to provide the necessary hydrogen-
Produce the factory along the train route.
"We will establish the corresponding supply system for the trains going [get refueled]
Jens sprat, head of the company's urban transport department, told the World newspaper.
However, the company says the train's tank capacity will allow it to travel long distances without the need for additional fuel.
On a full tank of 94 kg km/h, hydrail will be able to run all day, or can run 600 to 800 km.
Trains are also much quieter than diesel railcars, which will delight residents living near rail tracks.
The only noise it makes is the sound of the wheel on the track and the sound of air resistance.
The highest speed of Hydrail is said to be 14kph.

Although the price of hydrail has been kept confidential so far, it is expected to be higher than the price of dieselpowered trains.
Alstom expects, however, that operating costs will be comparable to those of diesel units.
The railway industry has been studying hydrogen.
Power train for the past 15 years.
Several prototypes have been made, mainly freight.
In 2004, the Japan Railway Research Institute showed a prototype of a rail car with fuel cells in Tokyo. Two years later, the East Japan Railway Company conducted its first hydraulic test drive.
Last year, China Southern Railway launched its first tram with fuel cell technology.
