Freightliner announced that it has become the first Freight Operating Company to transport hydrogen on Britain’s rail network – marking a major step forward for both the rail and energy sectors.
This milestone was achieved at Network Rail’s Test Tracks site in Tuxford, where the Freightliner team delivered hydrogen containers from Doncaster to High Marnham – proving rail’s capability to safely and efficiently move hydrogen at scale.
Working in partnership with Network Rail, Test Tracks, GeoPura and others – yesterday’s event was a great display of industries coming together to help progress Britain’s journey to net zero. Rail already produces 76% fewer carbon emissions compared to diesel road transportation, and initiatives like this help to accelerate the UK’s journey to net zero.
