Anatomy of a Hydrail System
Cummins technology powers the Coradia iLint, the world’s first hydrogen passenger train.
- Reduced noise and vibration
- Fast refueling: less than 20 minute down times with 18+ hours of operation between fueling
- Ability to turn existing non-electrified railway lines into zero-emission lines, without costly long-range electrification infrastructure
- Lower maintenance and operating expenditures
Hydrail trains are driven by efficient electric motors – powered by high-output hydrogen fuel cells – an alternative to diesel combustion engines.
Fueling Sustainable Opportunities
Hydrogen can be generated locally and emission-free, using renewable energy. Our market-leading electrolyzers generate hydrogen from water and electricity, often provided from off-peak surplus from solar, hydro-electric or wind installations – green energy that might otherwise be wasted. The hydrogen fueling infrastructure can also support fuel cell buses and trucks, reducing the dependence on fossil fuels for a variety of transportation applications.
Long-Term Projects Designed for Long-Term Success
At Cummins, we’ve spent decades helping regional operators and vehicle integrators manage smooth transitions to hydrogen powered transportation solutions, bringing our project experience to bear and building long-term support relationships. Over countless projects, we’ve provided our customers with the key ingredients for success: proven technology, focused execution, and committed customer service.
