Fuel cell technology has also become of increasing interest to the rail transport sector. Trains equipped with hydrogen-based drive systems are to be seen as a high-performance, emission-free alternative to diesel-powered locomotives.

Challenges

From a technical perspective, rail transport is an attractive field of application for fuel cells. Their capabilities with regard to long-haul operation and rapid refueling are of key importance. Fuel cell systems can become a climate-friendly alternative to diesel propulsion units, particularly when it comes to non-electrified routes.
