Quebec will be the very first jurisdiction in the Americas to operate a zero-emission passenger train powered by green hydrogen
-
Running from June to October in Quebec, the Coradia iLint will be North America's first hydrogen train.
-
The train, developed by Alstom, first entered commercial operations in Germany in 2018.
-
It can be a greener alternative to diesel on non-electrified train tracks — over 90% of tracks in North America.
North America will have its very first hydrogen-powered train this summer season.
Alstom, a French rail transportation company, announced earlier this year that it's shipping one of its new hydrogen-powered Coradia iLint trains to Quebec for a summer demonstration.
The train will be operated by rail service Train De Charlevoix, and people traveling on the picturesque route along the St. Lawrence River will be able to get an innovative, hydrogen-fueled ride starting June 9.
