The article discusses the groundbreaking shift towards low-emission mobility in local rail passenger transport through the introduction of hydrogen-powered trains. Alstom, based in Salzgitter, unveiled the world's first hydrogen-powered passenger train in 2016. A successful pilot project, conducted by LNVG and EVB, has been ongoing on the Cuxhaven-Bremerhaven-Bremervörde-Buxtehude line since 2018. This project aims to revolutionize rail transport by reducing emissions and promoting sustainability. The upcoming deployment of 14 additional hydrogen-powered vehicles in 2022 signifies a significant step towards widespread adoption. Furthermore, the construction of a hydrogen refuelling station in Bremervörde highlights the infrastructure developments supporting this eco-friendly transportation solution.
