China's CRRC Corporation Ltd. recently unveiled its first hydrogen urban train, which happens to be Asia's first hydrogen train.
The hydrogen train gets a top speed of 160 km/h, and the operational range without refueling is 600 km (the record of 1175 km has been set this September by Coradia iLint serial train of Alstom in Germany).
On the other hand, India is also moving fast to make its first-ever indigenous Hydrogen trains. As per various statements given by Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, India will most likely get its first hydrogen train by 2023.
Earlier, Germany became the first country to operate the world’s first-ever hydrogen-powered passenger train fleet.
The hydrogen train in Germany has been made by France’s rail transport company Alstom.
Hydrogen has been looked at as a potent replacement for fossil fuels in the transportation industry.
