The Lombardy Regional Council, based in Milan, has approved a resolution to allocate more than EUR 183 million for the purchase of 14 new hydrogen-powered trains, named 'Donizetti', to be used on the Brescia-Edolo line starting in 2026. This investment is part of the 'H2IseO' project, which aims to decarbonize rail transport in the region, known for its high population density. Regional councillors for Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Franco Lucente, and for Infrastructure, Claudia Maria Terzi, have praised the initiative, highlighting its importance for the environmental challenges the region faces. The new trains, manufactured by Alstom, will replace old diesel trains on the specified route, marking a transition towards low-emission and sustainable rail vehicles. The move towards hydrogen trains is seen as a positive step in the ecological transition of Lombardy, emphasizing the region's commitment to innovation and sustainable transport solutions. The project underscores the regional government's dedication to reducing carbon emissions and embracing cleaner technologies for public transportation.
