The "CINOVA H2" train was unveiled at the 2024 International Rail Transport Technology Exhibition (InnoTrans 2024) held from September 24 to 27 in Berlin, Germany. The train was developed and manufactured by Qingdao CRRC Sifang Rolling Stock Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Railway Group (CRRC).
Mr. Luong Tai Quoc, the project's chief designer, said the ship is equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell, which operates based on the electrochemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to generate electricity. Compared with similar products in the world , CINOVA H2 has a faster speed and the ability to travel further.
The train consists of four cars, equipped with a 960 KW high-power hydrogen fuel cell, with a maximum speed of 200 km/h. The train has the longest travel range in the world: reaching 1,200 km at 160 km/h, 2,000 km at 120 km/h, and 3,000 km at 80 km/h. The hydrogen refueling process takes only 15 minutes. The train can be operated in non-electrified railway areas, replacing vehicles using traditional internal combustion engines.
In particular, the entire reaction process of the hydrogen fuel cell on board only produces water, without emitting carbon or air pollutants. With an average operating distance of 300,000 km per year, the ship can reduce about 730 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
In addition, water from the fuel cell reaction process is purified and recycled to meet the water needs of the entire train. Waste heat from the hydrogen fuel cell cooling system is also recycled for air conditioning and heating in winter.
