Rail applications

Lightweight Hydrogen Storage Systems for Rail Vehicles

Over the last 20 years, we have been adapting our leading and proven Type 4 composite pressure tank technology for a wide range of mobility and storage applications in the hydrogen industry. As supplier of hydrogen storage systems to the world´s first hydrogen powered commuter train, we are your reliable partner for customized gas storage systems for rail vehicles.

Proven Type 4 Technology

Our Type 4 tanks made of full carbon fiber are able to store H2 up to a pressure level of 950 bar. The frames of our H2 storage system are made of high-strength steel or aluminium, depending on the individual requirements.

Safety & Reliability

Our tanks are approved according to rail regulation codes & standards. They are equipped with a pressure regulation to achieve a constant output pressure as well as a Thermal and Pressure Relief Device (TPRD).

STUDY ON THE USE OF FUEL CELLS & HYDROGEN IN THE RAILWAY ENVIRONMENT

Fuel cell and hydrogen (FCH) technology is a promising option for replacing diesel combustion engines in rail transportation. The Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking and Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking launched this study to assess the state-of-the-art, the business case, the market potential, specific case studies and technical and non-technical barriers to the use of FCH technology in different rail applications.
