Hydrogen fuel cell trains in europe

in #science6 years ago

The future of the trains.

The reducing of electricity emissions and developing eco-friendly vehicles for the planet seems to be intensifying. Such as electric cars and hybrid cars. The latest technology is on sale more and more opportunities to see EV charging stations have increased.

The fuel cell vehicles possible to extend mileage without having to wait for charging. Unlike electric vehicles, which take time to charge, if you compensate for fuel at the hydrogen station, you can run gasoline full with a feeling like a regular car. However, it seems that the maintenance of this hydrogen station cannot easily increase as much as EV's charging spot is also a difficult point.

However, adopts hydrogen for trains to maximize the use of this hydrogen-fueled vehicle in the future are already beginning in Germany. According to Arstechnica, Alstom, also known as the manufacturer of (TGV), which is the French high-speed railway, has recently delivered two railways Coradia iLint running on hydrogen fuel to northern Germany.

Corandia iLint turns the motor by converting the hydrogen stored in the fuel tank to electric power with the fuel cell. It seems that the efficiency of energy use is also improved by accumulating extra power generated in the battery. iLint is supposed to run 1000 km if hydrogen fuel is filled up.

Fuel cell vehicles seem quite good if nothing can be done if enough hydrogen fuel can be compensated for. Nonetheless, in the case of Coradia iLint this time, it is still in a service-in state undisclosed.

It is only water that is discharged, but it seems that the method of effectively using it is still fumbling. It is something we want the era of an active railway in Asian countries to come.
