Emissions-free Coradia iLint locomotive unveiled

Two years after inking the first letters of intent (LoIs) with various German states and entities, French multinational Alstom’s zero-carbon-dioxide- (CO2) emission passenger train is set to grace the European country’s rail network. Launched last month at railway trade fair InnoTrans, in Berlin, Germany, the new Coradia iLint locomotive is being promoted as a hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered alternative to diesel-powered locomotives and a more cost-effective choice compared to the electrification of lines.
