Stadler Rail, a prominent train company in Europe, unveiled its latest innovation in the rail transport sector with the introduction of the RS ZERO, a dual-fuel train prototype that can run on both hydrogen and battery power. Building on the success of their previous models, like the all-hydrogen-powered train and the RS1 Railbus, Stadler continues to lead the industry in environmentally friendly transport solutions. The RS ZERO is designed to cater to rail operators running branch lines that are not electrified, offering the flexibility of choosing between hydrogen and battery propulsion. This dual-fuel feature sets a new standard in the rail vehicle industry, emphasizing sustainability and emission-free travel. The lightweight design of the RS ZERO, with an axle load of less than 18 tonnes, addresses the need for environmentally conscious transport options on secondary rail routes. With a significant percentage of railway lines in Germany and Europe remaining unelectrified, the RS ZERO presents a viable solution to reduce emissions and promote eco-friendliness in rail transportation. Stadler's Executive Vice President of Marketing & Sales, Dr Ansgar Brockmeyer, highlighted the company's commitment to emission-free operation on secondary routes, marking a positive step towards a greener future. The RS ZERO prototype will be exhibited at InnoTrans 2024 in Berlin, where attendees can witness its features such as low entry height, spacious low-floor area, and barrier-free accessibility. This showcase of innovation signifies a new era in regional rail transport, focusing on sustainability and passenger convenience. The presentation of the RS ZERO at InnoTrans 2024 underscores Stadler's dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions in the railway industry, aligning with the increasing demand for environmentally friendly and efficient modes of transportation.
