Alstom: hydrogen train on track in North America
(CercleFinance.com) - Alstom yesterday announced the initial results of the first North American hydrogen train demonstration.
The Coradia iLint carried over 10,000 passengers on over 130 journeys totalling 10,660 kilometres in Quebec this summer, from mid-June to the end of September.
The demonstration enabled our rail partner to save around 8,400 litres of diesel and avoid the emission of 22 tonnes of CO2 compared with the diesel trains that normally serve this route, it says.
In addition, Alstom and its partners hosted 34 business, government and regulatory delegations from across North America who witnessed the implementation of this hydrogen propulsion technology and noted the requirements for its wider implementation across North America.
