Railway technology research and development

A power system combining hydrogen fuel cells with other energy sources for railway propulsion.

A technology that combines hydrogen and oxygen in a clean, electrochemical process to generate power, releasing only water vapor as a byproduct.

South Korea

A South Korean government-funded initiative to develop a hydrogen fuel cell hybrid railway train capable of replacing diesel trains. The project includes development of the hydrogen fuel cell hybrid power system, power conversion system, hydrogen refueling station construction plans, and railway technology technical standards.

A hybrid railway vehicle powered by hydrogen fuel cells, capable of traveling at a maximum speed of 110 km/h and covering more than 600 km on a single refueling. Designed to replace diesel trains in South Korea.
