World's first Hydrogen powered train.

The reality of Hydrogen Power Train.

Highlights:

1. Alstom (A French company) disclosed the world's first hydrogen train.
2. The name of the train is Coradia iLint.
3. the train first tested to run on the Buxtehude-Bremervörde-Bremerhaven-Cuxhaven line in the northwestern German state of Lower Saxony.
4. The train fuel cells that produce electricity through a combination of hydrogen and oxygen.

In order to control the Air pollution and Saving the Nature the Govt. of Germany has rolled out the world's first pollution-free Hydrogen powered train. The CEO of the French transit company Alstrom, Henri Poupart-Lafarge said at an unveiling ceremony in Bremervoerde, that "the Hydrogen powered train is going to be a part of commercial service and is ready for serial production." The train was first tested to run on the Buxtehude-Bremervörde-Bremerhaven-Cuxhaven line in the northwestern German state of Lower Saxony and these trains started operating in German on Sunday (i.e 17th Sep 2018) Again Alstom has revealed that the company plans to deliver another 14 of the zero-emissions trains to Lower Saxony state by 2021. Alstom says that not only Germany, but there's also demand from other countries as well, including the UK, the Netherlands, Italy, Canada, Norway and Denmark.

The Hydrogen powered train is equipped with fuel cells that produce electricity through a combination of hydrogen and oxygen, a process that leaves steam and water as the only emissions but no carbon dioxide and monoxide, unlike the low-cost diesel train. Excess energy is stored in the ion-lithium batteries on board the train. 

According to the Guardian, the project's manager Stefan Schrank of Alstom the French company said, "Sure, buying a hydrogen train is somewhat more expensive than a traditional diesel train, but it is cheaper to run in the long-run,”

The trains (named as Coradia iLint train), which promise a low-noise trip and almost zero pollution, can hit speeds up to 140 km/hr, or 86.9 MPH. They'll run on 100 kilometres (62 miles) of a track.  Running on a single tank of hydrogen, they can run around 600 miles (1,000km), on par with a diesel train.

 The train makes little to no noise and will be a part of Germany's growing commercial service network of noiseless, zero-emission trains.
