aug 7, 2024 - (SWITZERLAND) New Stadler RS Zero Hydrogen Railcar

Description:

The RS Zero railcar is a decarbonised update of the widely used Regio-Shuttle RS1 regional railcar. Stadler says it aims to offer ‘the most modern and environmentally friendly drive technologies’ with hydrogen or battery traction, while retaining the advantages of the tried-and-tested RS1 as an economical and attractive option for low-traffic secondary routes. A target market includes the reactivation of passenger services on non-electrified lines.

The prototype which will be on show in Berlin has a hydrogen drive and will be equipped to demonstrate the numerous design options available, including a multi-purpose area for bicycles, pushchairs and bulky luggage, lounge and comfort zones, standard and more private seats, a wheelchair space, a toilet and a staff compartment. The RS Zero is available as a one or two-car unit with 70 to 150 seats.
