The companies said in general that the tests used in the new drive train as hydrogen to commence in 2024 and the current one year. The two-car train will have a top speed of 160 kilometers per hour (99.4 miles per hour) and can be recharged in just 15 minutes.
On the train, in which he called a wonderful II, will run between the three cities in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, replacing the conventional nutrition courses, lorem unit on the road. The new hydrogen driver will save about 330 tons of CO2 per year, the companies said.
"Hydrogen drives are an advanced form of emission-free propulsion to decarbonize rail transport will help make a significant contribution to achieving the targets of the air ' SIEMENS Mobility CEO Michael Peter said in a statement.
Deutsche Bahn operates about 1,300 trains in the region nutrition service, and 40% of its roughly 33,000 kilometer (20,500 thousand) rail network is being electrified - the head means power lines trains can not run. The company thinks eliminate nutrition trains a network in 2050.
Battery powered, and I admire and like fuel cells, hydrogen converts oxygen into electricity. The two-car train will have a range of 600 kilometers (373 miles), and said Nokia is also to develop a three-car version with a range of 1,000 kilometers (621 miles).
"The electricity powered by overhead line or hydrogen - and that comes from renewable energy sources by a factor is," John said in a statement Winfried Baden-Württemberg Minister ugly. "This region will be a pioneer in the modern, sustainability rail transport."
European regulators blocked Siemens' proposed acquisition of Alstom in a 2019 merger, saying that was nothing wrong with the system suffered significant competition in the high-speed railway trains.
