China’s Hydrogen Train Successfully Completed Its Test Drive

Chinese, cleaner public transport took an important step for of the country The first domestic train with hydrogen fuel A test drive was carried out in the project. While the range of the train is stated to be one thousand kilometers, the test was carried out in Changchun city.

Although automobiles are the first thing that comes to mind when electric or hydrogen fueled vehicles are mentioned, important studies are continuing to use alternative energy sources for different vehicles such as trucks, buses and trains. One of these studies was in China. CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles Hydrogen fuel train developed by. The first test drive of the train, which has a range of 1,000 km, was carried out.

Consumes 5kWh of energy per kilometer

Unlike trains that use fossil fuels or need power lines, this train hydrogen energy uses. This system offers a powerful and long-lasting power unit. According to the results obtained in the tests, the vehicle consumes 5kWh of energy per kilometer. Thus, the train also met the previously determined global energy efficiency standard.

Before test driving the vehicle, -25 degrees to 35 degrees tested in different conditions. It is also stated that during this process, the vehicle was tested for vibration resistance, electromagnetic compatibility and fire safety. The range of the vehicle is over 1000 kilometers It was stated that it can go out and that this means it requires less stopping for refueling.

Let’s see if China can reduce carbon emissions with its electric trains.
