Saudi Arabia has made significant progress in sustainable transportation by successfully completing the testing of its first hydrogen-powered train, Coradia iLint. The CEO of Saudi Railway Company (SAR), Bashar Al Malik, confirmed the successful tests, emphasizing the importance of this achievement in reducing carbon emissions. The tests covered distances on SAR's eastern lines, showcasing the capabilities of the hydrogen train on different routes. The Coradia iLint has already gained recognition in Europe and proved its efficiency with 14 trains operating in Lower Saxony, Germany. Notably, in a 2023 test, a Coradia iLint train completed a 1,175-kilometer journey without refueling, demonstrating its potential for long-distance routes. These advancements are crucial for modernizing Saudi Arabia's transportation infrastructure and align with the country's 'Vision 2030' program to reduce reliance on oil. Collaboration between Alstom and SAR through a memorandum of understanding in 2022 highlights a joint effort to adapt hydrogen solutions for Saudi Arabia's transport needs. This partnership aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, supporting the environmental goals of the region. The successful completion of hydrogen train testing signifies Saudi Arabia's commitment to sustainable development and technological progress in the transportation sector, ultimately contributing to the country's ambitious goals for the future.
