en.Wedoany.com Reported - Swiss rail vehicle manufacturer Stadler has unveiled a narrow-gauge hydrogen train for Sardinia, Italy. This Italian hydrogen train project is being advanced by ARST, the regional transport operator of Sardinia, with a framework contract covering 10 hydrogen-powered narrow-gauge trains to replace traditional diesel traction vehicles on non-electrified local lines.

The hydrogen train is developed for narrow-gauge railway operations, utilizing a hydrogen fuel power system adapted to the line conditions in parts of Sardinia. Through this project, ARST is promoting low-emission regional railway renewal, with subsequent vehicles set to undergo testing, certification, and delivery arrangements.

Stadler stated that this model is designed for narrow-gauge networks, representing a new application of its hydrogen rail vehicle products in regional transport. As the project for 10 hydrogen narrow-gauge trains progresses, the regional railway in Sardinia, Italy, will generate supporting demands in vehicle procurement, hydrogen refueling, maintenance support, and line adaptation, while also providing a new vehicle solution for the low-carbon transformation of non-electrified lines.
