Hydrogen Fuel Cell Skeptics Not Reassured By New Passenger Trains
Don’t Forget About Cummins, the US-based firm Cummins also has a leading hand in Germany’s new 100% hydrogen fuel cell railway. Cummins supplied the fuel cell systems for the Coradia iLint trains.
“The systems allow the train to emit only steam and condensed water while in service and operate with low noise levels that improve both operator and passenger comfort,” Cummins points out. The LNVG contract is not just a one-off for Cummins. The company has been collaborating with Alstom on the Coradia iLint all along, including test runs in Austria, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden as well in Germany.
Cummins is already set to deliver 54 additional fuel cell systems to Alstom, which will be shared out among 27 new Coradia iLint trains for Frankfurt in Germany. Earlier this year Cummins also opened a new factory in Germany, anticipating even more EU fuel cell train activity in the coming years. Cummins is also front and center in the fields of green H2 tech. The company lays claim to the world’s largest operating PEM electrolyzer, a a power-to gas wind energy storage system in GermanyThe US has quite a bit of catching up to do in the hydrogen fuel cell train area.
