The Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRI) announced that their 100kW fuel cell has been tested following two years of development.

This latest inspection follows previous trials of a smaller 30kW rail system in 2003.

Current tests aim to determine the output characteristics and load-following capacity of the new fuel cell system, so that the possible commercialisation of fuel cell-powered trains can be considered, RTRI said.

RTRI pioneered the development of a fuel cell powered railway in 2001, as part of an R&D project for ‘environmentally friendly railways’.
