What is it about?
The FCH2RAIL project developed a bi-mode hybrid powertrain system that combines the electrical power supply from the overhead line with an emission-free hybrid power pack. The power pack consists of fuel cells and batteries and operates independently of the overhead line, creating a competitive and environmentally friendly train that does not depend on fossil fuels.
