Germany has inaugurated the world's first passenger trains that are powered by the hydrogen fuel cell. These regional trains will replace 15 diesel-powered trains in the route HL option 2: World's first hydrogen-powered train begins operations in Germany; see photos

World’s first hydrogen train, Coradia iLint, is out for passenger train operation in the world premiere 100% hydrogen train route. A total of 14 hydrogen power regional trains will operate on a regional route in Germany. (https://alstom.canto.global/)

The new trains will be fuelled daily and around the clock at the Linde hydrogen filling station. The Alstom multiple units of the Coradia iLint model, which are emission-free in operation, can run all day long on just one tank of hydrogen on the evb network. I (https://alstom.canto.global/)
