The first hydrogen locomotive from CRRC has been delivered to Chile for the narrow-gauge railway FCAB, linking the port of Antofagasta with mining facilities in Bolivia. This locomotive, equipped with a 400 kW hydrogen fuel cell unit and 600 kW battery packs, has the capacity to haul trains weighing up to 1000 tons across a distance of approximately 400 kilometers. Noteworthy safety features include a gas detection system with automatic fuel shut-off. Additionally, the locomotive is designed to withstand challenging environmental conditions like salt mist and sandstorms. FCAB's decision to introduce hydrogen technology aligns with its goal to phase out diesel traction, a transition from its current fleet of American EMD and GE diesel locomotives. The delivery marks a significant milestone for the company's sustainability efforts and represents a shift towards cleaner and more efficient transportation methods. The hydrogen locomotive is set to begin commercial operations in the latter half of the year, enhancing FCAB's rail network capabilities. This development signifies a positive step in the adoption of hydrogen technology within the railway industry, showcasing the potential for sustainable alternatives in rail transport.
