Created the first tram on hydrogen fuel Bashny.Net

Company CSR Sifang, together with leading research institutes in the country, successfully completed the study, which began in 2013. Experimental tram can reach the speed of 70 km/h, at that speed it has enough charge for 100 km. It consists of three cars, the maximum capacity of which will amount to approximately 380 people.

Fuel cells represent the cylinders of carbon fiber, able to withstand nominal pressure up to 1 ton. Batteries have a two-tier system of detection of hydrogen leakage.

The transport was very clean. The fuel cell and the engine of the tram is not heated above 100℃ during operation, do not emit carbon dioxide, does not pollute the environment. The output of the working cycle of the engine the only product is water.

It is worth noting that at the moment only China has such technology for the first time hydrogen fuel cells are used in rail transport. published
