Germany today rolled out the world’s first hydrogen-powered trains as it moves to replace the existing air-polluting diesel trains.

Two French-built Coradia iLint engines will replace diesel trains on the 100-kilometer (62-mile) route linking the towns of Cuxhaven and Buxtehude.

The Hydrogen-powered trains have an hydrogen tank and fuel cells on the roof that combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity .

Unlike the petrol and diesel engines that produces pollutant emissions, these low-noise, zero-emissions trains produces just steam and water as the only emissions. The excess energy produced is stored in ion lithium batteries.



The trains can run for around 1,000 kilometers on a single tank of hydrogen and reach a maximum speed 87 mph, a range which is similar to that of diesel trains.

The project's manager at Alstom, the French company that built the trains said:
"Sure, buying a hydrogen train is somewhat more expensive than a diesel train, but it is cheaper to run"

Alstom also said that 14 new hydrogen trains will be introduced across the state by 2021.

Hydrogen powered.

Meanwhile APC and Buhari are struggling to import train cargoes used by Germany during World War II. And the world is pushing towards clean energy source.

Buhari is dragging us back to the 20th century. He wants the country to be as old as him.

Oh God!!!
