hydrogen fuel cell train development

Research

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

Energy storage system used alongside the hydrogen fuel cell to enable operation on both electrified and non-electrified railway lines.

A European testing phase initiative aiming to enable electric trains to switch to emission-free hybrid operation when traveling through regions that are off the grid.

A modified CAF Civia Class 463 three-car electric multiple unit (EMU) equipped with hydrogen fuel cell systems and lithium-titanate batteries. The prototype will be capable of zero-emission operation and can run on both electrified and non-electrified railway lines.

A three-car electric multiple unit commonly used in Spanish commuter networks that will serve as the base platform for the hydrogen fuel cell train prototype.
