German hydrogen trains enter service

摘要

ALSTOM marked the entry into passenger operation of its Coradia iLint hydrogen fuel cell multiple unit in Bremervoerde, Germany, on September 16, with two prototype trains beginning commercial service on a fixed timetable in Lower Saxony on September 17. Lower Saxony Transport Authority LNVG signed a contract with Alstom for 14 iLint trains in November 2017, the first order for the newly-developed train. The fleet is due to be introduced in 2021 on services between Cuxhaven, Bremerhaven, Bremervoerde and Buxtehude.
