Take a look at North America’s first hydrogen-powered train, which emits only water and will start service this summer

• 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.
