Saudi Arabia will soon test the first hydrogen fuel train in the Middle East

The first environmentally friendly hydrogen fueled train will soon be tested for the first time in the Middle East.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, Saudi Arabia’s Energy Minister Bin Salman announced in a meeting at the United Nations that the country will unveil the first train with hydrogen fuel next week as a test. The test of this hydrogen train will be done with the aim of using transportation with less pollution. According to a report published by Reuters, this hydrogen train will start working for the first time in the Middle East, and according to the announcement of the Saudi Energy Minister, its use will continue for several months. Bin Salman also emphasized that the country of Saudi Arabia plans to launch a transparent and reliable mechanism in its domestic market in this regard. No further details have been released.

The launch of the hydrogen transportation service is considered one of the ambitious logistics and national transportation programs in Saudi Arabia, which will be carried out with the aim of achieving economic growth and also creating logistics and transportation infrastructure.

The use of hydrogen fuel in transportation and railways, in addition to the good benefits for the environment, will also be completely cost-effective in carrying out operations. This fuel is stored inside the trains and is used instead of fuel on routes where expensive electrical systems can be used.
