China's 1,000-kilometer-range hydrogen train successfully tested: a big step toward clean transportation

China's hydrogen train was successfully tested. This train will travel 1000 km with each full tank and will play a big role in clean transportation.

China has taken an important step towards clean urban transport by successfully testing its first domestically-built hydrogen train. The historic move took place on Thursday in Changchun City, Jilin Province. Built by the Chinese company CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles, the train reached a speed of 160 km/h while fully loaded. This successful test is a significant development in the application of hydrogen energy technology for rail transportation.

Unlike traditional trains that depend on fossil fuels or overhead power lines, this innovative train uses a hydrogen energy propulsion system. This system provides a powerful and durable power supply, and based on test results, its average energy consumption is only 5 kWh per kilometer. This figure is in accordance with all the design requirements and puts this train at the top of the table of optimal energy consumption in the world.

With an impressive range of over 1,000 kilometers, this train significantly reduces the need to stop for refueling. Before testing, the hydrogen power system underwent rigorous tests for durability, performance in extreme temperatures (from -25 to +35 degrees Celsius), vibration resistance, electromagnetic compatibility, and fire safety. This comprehensive test ensures safe and reliable operation of the train.

This successful test is an important milestone for China's rail transportation industry and paves the way for the wider adoption of hydrogen energy technology. It also contributes to the use of globally important technologies in the development of advanced transportation equipment. We hope that this trend will spread to more countries so that we see less use of fossil fuels.
