"Transmashholding" (TMH) presented a model of the first Russian passenger hydrogen train. This was announced by Alexey Kornilov, Head of the Labor Protection and Industrial Safety Department of TMH.
The train will be designed in two versions. The first train will consist of two head cars with a booster section, which will house power plants and energy storage devices. The second one will consist of three cars (intermediate, booster section and two head cars).
The trains will be able to operate using a multiple unit system - two trains can be combined; both will be controlled from the cab of the leading train. The range of a three-car train will be 487 kilometers on hydrogen and 40 km on energy storage devices, a two-car train - 725 kilometers on hydrogen and 80 km on energy storage devices.
According to Alexey Kornilov, the train will be 80% made of domestic components. All elements of the train, except for the hydrogen component, are produced in Russia.
Tests of the hydrogen train will begin in 2026. Regular transportation will be launched in 2028.
Earlier www1.ru reported that TMHpresented a model of the train with a new design.
