What was the challenge?
The Coradia iLint is a new-generation of hydrogen-fuelled, multi-unit trains generating zero carbon-emissions. These new-generation trains literally produce nothing but “steam” – making them a zero carbon-emission trains in the rail sector.
A particular challenge was the need to meet the early acceptance that management required in order to use tried-and-tested hydrogen technology in the new setting. A partner was required to who is involved in the requirement definition and safety-related testing of the design and features to approve the new train and to bring it safely to the rails.
