oct 12, 2023 - ALSTOM - First results from demonstration of hydrogen train in North America

Description:

Alstom has announced the first results of North America’s first demonstration of hydrogen-powered trains, with its Coradia iLint carrying more than 10,000 passengers, over 130 trips spanning 10,660km in Quebec this summer from mid-June to the end of September.

According to Alstom, the demonstration saved its railway partner an estimated 8,400 liters of diesel and averted 22 tons of CO2 emissions compared to the diesel trains that normally service this route.

Moreover, Alstom and its partners welcomed 34 commercial, governmental and regulatory delegations from all over North America looking to witness this hydrogen-propulsion technology and capture the requirements for wider implementation across North America.
