A consortium led by Siemens Mobility Association, comprising Siemens Mobility SRL, Siemens Mobility GmbH, and Siemens Mobility Austria GmbH, has proposed to supply 12 hydrogen-powered trains to Romania. This initiative comes after previous attempts by the Railway Reform Authority (ARF) to procure hydrogen trains faced challenges including a lack of bids and unqualified submissions. The proposed acquisition is estimated to cost between RON 1.59 billion to RON 2.47 billion, depending on the duration of associated services over 15 or 30 years. The intended use of these trains is for public service contracts on specific non-electrified railway routes such as Bucharest - Pitești and Bucharest - Henri Coandă Airport. These routes are vital for enhancing railway transport services in the region. The financing for this project stems from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), particularly focusing on sustainable transport under Component 4, and the state budget allocated through the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. The evaluation process for the bid will adhere to legal regulations and the stipulated Terms of Reference to ensure transparency and compliance. This initiative reflects a positive step towards modernizing Romania's railway infrastructure with environmentally friendly solutions like hydrogen-powered trains, aligning with the country's goals for sustainable transport development.
