Описание:

The launch of the first hydrogen trains in the Taunus region in the German state of Hesse is proving bumpy.

In Frankfurt, Germany, the first hydrogen trains in the Taunus network are experiencing some teething problems. Due to technical problems, only two of the six fuel cell trains scheduled to run in the German state of Hesse can actually be put into service. Acknowledging "technical problems", the operator Start, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn (DB), said it was experiencing difficulties with the supply of the fuel cell trains supplied by Alstom.

"The Coradia iLint should normally have been running on the RB15 line between Frankfurt, Bad Homburg and Waldsolms-Brandoberndorf," explains the daily Hessenschau. "This is not possible at the moment, which is why a substitute service has been set up that covers almost 50 percent of the routes originally planned."

In addition to these technical problems, the project is also affected by a scheduling issue. A subsidiary of RMV, Fahma had 27 examples of Alstom's fuel cell train in 2019. According to RMV, not all have been delivered on time yet.
