Alstom: first hydrogen trains ordered in France

(CercleFinance.com) - Alstom has announced SNCF Voyageurs' order, for four Regions, of the first 12 (plus two optional trainsets) dual-mode electric-hydrogen trains from its Coradia Polyvalent range for Régiolis, for a total of almost 190 million euros.


"Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Grand Est and Occitanie regions sign the very first order of dual mode electric-hydrogen trains in France. This marks a historic step in rail transport's reduction in CO2 emissions for the benefit of passengers and regions", the group said.

The dual mode electric-hydrogen Coradia Polyvalent train is a "four-car, 72m-long train has a total capacity of 218 seats and the same dynamic performance and level of comfort as the dual mode electric-diesel version".
