By 2017 Germany will launch the world's first hydrogen-powered zero emission train which emits only steam.
A French engineering firm is in charge of building this train and it is expected to be ready by December 2017 in Germany's rail network
CEO Alstom ( Henri Poupart-Lafarge ) said : "Alstom is proud to launch a breakthrough innovation in the field of clean transportation, which will complete its Coradia range of regional trains,"
“It shows our ability to work in close collaboration with our customers and develop a train in only two years.”
The Coradia iLint only emits excess steam into the atmosphere and provides an alternative to the country’s 4,000 diesel trains.
About 14 of the trains has already been ordered from the French company " Alstom" and is more likely to be seen around the country if it passes the test .
The testing will be carried out by the end of the year, before being used by December next year.
