19 gen 2022 anni - (CANADA) Canadian Pacific (CP) - Expanded its H2 locomotive programme as it confirms plans to develop 3 H2-powered locomotives

Descrizione:

Canadian Pacific (CP) has expanded its hydrogen locomotive programme as it confirms plans to develop three hydrogen-powered locomotives. The railway company originally said it was to develop one hydrogen locomotive, however, with various support, including a $15m grant from Emissions Reduction Alberta (EBA), the group has upped its commitment to hydrogen rail. Under project plans, CP hopes to refine the process of converting diesel-electric powertrains to hydrogen-electric powertrains over a series of three categories of locomotives which collectively represent the majority of locomotives in use throughout North America. Powering the locomotives, will be 200kW fuel cell modules developed by Ballard Power Systems, with the firm today (Jan 19) stating that it has received an order for an additional eight systems to support the newly confirmed developments.
