approved the first hydrogen train. Innovative inventions of Italians to come

The breakthrough comes from the fact that the first hydrogen fuel cell pbadenger train in the world has left the tunnel. Coradia iLint is the first in the world with its features and no longer expects to be on the right track because the green light from the German rail authority has arrived. And since we are in Germany, it was almost inevitable that everything should be organized properly. The roadmap of the first hydrogen train, intended to launch a new era in transport, is indeed ready. The project involves the commissioning of 14 trains that will transport pbadengers between the cities of Cuxhaven, Bremerhaven, Bremervörde and Buxtehude from December 2021. It will start at the end of the summer.

8 million euros from the German government

The train can then be put into operation by issuing the type approval certificate to the Federal Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure in Berlin. To finance the Coradia iLint, built by Alstom, the German government has thought of it with 8 million euros as part of the National Program for Innovation in Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies.

Designed for non-electrified lines, from a technical point of view, it is characterized by the combination of several innovative elements, in addition to zero emissions, lower noise levels and a discharge consisting of water vapor and condensation water

14 hydrogen fuel cell trains, relative maintenance for 30 years and energy supply. As Wolfram Schwab, Alstom's vice president of R & D and Innovation, says, this approval is a crucial moment for Coradia iLint and a decisive step towards a clean and future-oriented mobility. Alstom is deeply proud of this hydrogen-powered regional train, which represents a revolution in zero emission mobility and will now enter into regular service. From this there is also an intelligent management of traction energy and other available energies and also a conversion of clean energy.

Italy does not look with Rock trains

Still a few months of waiting before the rock trains begin to travel. The appointment is in a year, spring 2019. Trenitalia bought 300 for an expenditure of about 3 billion dollars for regional transport from Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto and Liguria . This is a train set to set speed records and the first example was produced by Hitachi Rail Italy in Pistoia. Fully ridden in Italy, it can reach 160 km / h at maximum speed and accommodate 600 people comfortably seated. The next steps planned to participate in the presentation tour are Palermo, Bari and Reggio Calabria, which go in the wake of Bologna, Turin, Florence, Genoa, Rome and Verona.

Consumes 30% less than comparable trains

Not only fast, innovative and comfortable, Rock is also a green train, considering that it consumes about 30% less than comparable trains on the market today and has a recyclability of materials greater than 95%. The internal and external LED lighting system minimizes energy consumption while on the move and off with technology that generates useful information for the driver. There are also new generation seats with a redesigned design to optimize ergonomics, guarantee a high level of comfort and more legroom for the same seat distance. Trenitalia Rock Train Features large glbad areas in the compartments, with longer windows for a high degree of transparency to the outside.

Bicycle Batman

With Batman's bicycle, Italy is once again a panorama of beautiful inventions around the world, excelling in terms of innovation. The Batman bike is an electric bike that looks a lot like a motorcycle but has a decidedly futuristic design compared to a traditional bike: it is equipped with an engine, has a chbadis almost entirely made of carbon, integrates a battery that is targue, as indicated, with a range of up to 80 kilometers, weighs 35 kilos and can reach 25 km / h.
