Alstom’s Coradia iLint successfully travels 1,175 km without refueling its hydrogen tank

• Serial Coradia iLint travels 1,175 kilometres without stopping to refill its hydrogen tank

• Emission-free journey from Bremervörde to Munich Main station

• New global milestone for clean, alternative drives in rail transport

16 September 2022- Alstom, global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, has demonstrated the effectiveness of its hydrogen powered solutions for long distance transportation. During a long-distance journey, an unmodified serially-produced Coradia iLint train covered 1,175 kilometres without refuelling the hydrogen tank, only emitting water and operating with very low levels of noise. The vehicle used for this journey comes from the fleet belonging to LNVG (Landesnahverkehrsgesellschaft Niedersachsen), the transport authority of Lower Saxony, and has been in regular passenger operation on the network of evb (Eisenbahnen und Verkehrsbetriebe Elbe-Weser GmbH) since mid-August. For the project, Alstom also partnered with the gas and engineering company Linde.
