Описание:

INDIA’s railways minister, Mr Ashwani Vaishnaw, has announced plans for the first trial of hydrogen traction on the Indian Railways (IR) network, which will take place with a new Vande Metro train by the end of this year.

“Manufacture of the hydrogen fuel-based train has begun at a workshop of the Northern Railways and the prototype will be tested on the Sonipat - Jind section in Haryana later this year,” Vaishnaw recently told the Lok Sabha, the lower house of Indian parliament.

Although hydrogen technology is still in its infancy, IR appears confident that it will meet the deadline of December 23 set for the start of the trials. “The technology is available off the shelf,” one IR manager said.
