"This is a significant milestone for our multi-year collaboration efforts with Siemens Mobility and the future of zero-emission commuter rail in Europe. Our fuel cell technology is an ideal solution to support the heavy payload, long range and rapid refueling requirements of Siemen Mobility's passenger train fleet. We look forward to our continued collaboration and are excited for the opportunity to support the Berlin and Brandenburg region's first hydrogen powered rail network," said David Mucciacciaro, Ballard Chief Commercial Officer. "We will continue our work to secure platform wins with key partners in our core verticals and to support their scaling plans to achieve decarbonization."
"We can only meet climate change targets by increasing rail transportation. Our first order for a fleet of hydrogen-powered trains will enable emission-free rail transport on non-electrified routes in Germany," said Jochen Steinbauer, Platform Director H2 Technologies at Siemens Mobility. "Our Mireo Plus H is a next-generation hydrogen train, featuring longer range, faster acceleration and state-of-the-art technologies, setting new standards in zero-emission passenger transport."
