Alstom announced on 11 October the first results of North America’s first demonstration of hydrogen-powered trains.
Alstom’s Coradia iLint hydrogen-powered train transported more than 10,000 passengers in a demonstration project in Quebec from mid-June to the end of September 2023.Using Alstom’s green hydrogen-powered train on this route helped save approximately 8,400 litres of diesel and averted 22 tons of CO2 emissions during this pilot. Alstom and its partners have laid the foundation of a comprehensive, safe and efficient H2 ecosystem for the heavy transportation sector in North America, from production to refuelling to operation. Alstom and its partners will use the results to chart the next steps to develop hydrogen propulsion technology and foster the adoption of green transportation in North America
