New Delhi, March 9: Indian Railways is set to launch India슬롯사이트s first hydrogen-powered train by March 31, marking a significant step toward sustainable transportation. This innovation will place India among global leaders in green mobility, alongside Germany, France, China, and the UK.
Hydrogen-powered trains represent the future of eco-friendly transportation, providing a sustainable alternative to diesel engines. India슬롯사이트s upcoming hydrogen train will highlight the country슬롯사이트s advancements in railway engineering and green mobility, demonstrating its commitment to innovative and sustainable transport solutions. This project positions India among global leaders in clean energy-driven rail technology.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천India슬롯사이트s First Hydrogen Train Will Be Among World슬롯사이트s Longest and Maximum Powered, Says Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
Route and Deployment
The first hydrogen train, currently being built at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai, will be deployed on the Jind-Sonipat route in Northern Railway슬롯사이트s Delhi Division. This route covers approximately 89 km, serving as the pilot project for future hydrogen-based railway expansion.
Key Features of India슬롯사이트s Hydrogen Train
Made-in-India Innovation
The specifications for this train have been developed by the Research Design and Standards Organisation (RDSO), ensuring it is completely indigenously designed and manufactured.
Unmatched Power Capacity
India슬롯사이트s hydrogen train boasts a 1,200 horsepower (HP) engine슬롯사이트more than double the capacity of similar hydrogen trains worldwide, which usually range between 500 to 600 HP. This makes it one of the most powerful hydrogen trains globally.
Zero-Emission Transport
The train operates using hydrogen fuel cells, generating electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen, with only water vapor as a byproduct. This makes it an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional diesel trains.
Dedicated Hydrogen Infrastructure
A hydrogen production-storage-dispensation facility is being developed alongside the train슬롯사이트s launch. The Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO) has granted necessary safety approvals for the infrastructure.
With an INR 2,800 crore allocation for 35 hydrogen trains, Indian Railways aims to revolutionize clean energy transportation. Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw emphasised that this project is a major step toward reducing carbon emissions and ensuring a greener future for India슬롯사이트s rail network.
