Alstom's Groundbreaking Hydrogen Train Advances Sustainable Rail Transport
Key Ideas
  • Alstom's first hydrogen train arrives in Rovato for operational and refueling tests, a significant step in sustainable rail transport.
  • The Coradia Stream H hydrogen train is eco-friendly, equipped with modern technologies for efficiency and reducing emissions, revolutionizing rail transport.
  • Alstom's contract with FNM to deliver hydrogen trains and plans for distribution on the Brescia – Edolo route show commitment to reducing emissions and improving services.
  • Alstom's hydrogen trains comply with European environmental standards, making rail transport more sustainable and paving the way for widespread adoption of hydrogen technologies.
Alstom's introduction of the first hydrogen train in Rovato for operational and refueling tests represents a major milestone in sustainable rail transport. Following successful tests in Germany, the Coradia Stream H hydrogen train was showcased at the EXPO Ferroviaria exhibition in 2023, featuring advanced technology for energy efficiency and emissions reduction. With a passenger capacity of 260 and the ability to travel up to 660 kilometers without refueling, this innovative train offers a solution for regional routes, ensuring autonomy and sustainability in transportation. The contract between Alstom and FNM includes the delivery of eight hydrogen trains, with plans to potentially add six more by 2023. The deployment of these new trains on the Brescia – Edolo route is expected to enhance transportation services while reducing emissions. Alstom's commitment to European environmental standards further solidifies its position in developing sustainable solutions for rail transport, actively contributing to a greener future. This project not only showcases the potential of hydrogen technologies but also sets a precedent for their wider integration in the railway industry, emphasizing the importance of reducing carbon footprint and promoting eco-friendly transportation methods.
