The joint venture between CRRC Changchun Railway Company and Chengdu Rail Transit announced the launch of the world’s first hydrogen-powered urban train. In this sense, hydrogen-powered trains already exist, but this is the first to be developed specifically for a city environment.<\/p>\n\n
In this regard, the zero-emission train adopted the core technology of the Fuxing bullet train and is capable of reaching 160 km\/h; making it the fastest hydrogen train to date. The train has a built-in hydrogen power system, which provides a long-lasting power source, with a 600 km battery life.<\/p>\n\n
The train has officially rolled off the assembly line in Chengdu, southwest China’s Sichuan province.<\/p>\n\n
For this new clean energy urban train, a hydrogen fuel cell and supercapacitor were placed, instead of the original catenary power supply. The electrochemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen produces power in the hydrogen fuel cell; water being the only by-product of the reaction. Furthermore, the reaction process is stable and the resulting noise is minimal.<\/p>\n\n
