H2Motion Commuter Train Concept
Tunnel safe H2 fuel powered Combustion Engine for Trains
Modernization of German commuter diesel trains towards almost zero-emission by using hydrogen as fuel instead of diesel and safe storage thereof using low-pressure metal hydride tank cluster.
Key innovations
- Use of low-temperature metal hydride energy storage system below 530 PSI/30 bar:
- international tunnel safety
- non-explosive/burning in case of tank damage due to an accident
- extremely high cycle-stability in charging and discharging process
- Compact and cost-efficient 3D printed tank cluster with innovative thermo-management to propel endogenous and exogenous fueling processes, mounted behind train compartment above standard bogie
- Hydrogen combustion engine with more than 600 km driving range
