Alstom to reveal fuel-cell trainset at InnoTrans 2016

The powertrain will use hydrogen fuel cells, batteries and energy storage systems to replace a roof-mounted diesel powerpack, giving equivalent performance to an electric multiple-unit. The fuel cells will feature proven technology already deployed in the automotive sector, and Alstom will provide software, control and energy storage equipment.

This is interesting, diesel trains are another sector we overlooked alongside the trucking industry that cannot be replaced with batteries.

We need to get off fossil fuel. The future seems pretty apparent IMO.
