Alstom is committed to providing sustainable rail alternatives for networks where electrification is prohibitively expensive. While battery technology has advanced considerably, hydrogen trains remain an important solution to replace diesel trains on long-haul, non-electrified lines.
By bringing these core fuel cell capabilities in-house, Alstom secures development work more efficiently and efforts to support the performance, durability and energy‑management needs of existing fleets and meet our commitments to our customers in Germany, Italy, France. In line with its strategy, Cummins (cummins.com) will continue to focus its zero‑emissions portfolio on priority areas and allocate resources to the initiatives expected to deliver the greatest impact for its customers, and Alstom will reinforce its capability to support the long-term development of hydrogen rail technologies.
“Bringing these hydrogen fuel cell activities into Alstom gives us the capabilities we need to support reliability growth and maintenance for our installed fleet and to conclude the development of our contracted programs. Our approach is focused and disciplined, with a clear priority on what matters most. We want to remain closely aligned with our customers’ operational needs and provide the support they expect as they move toward greener traction solutions,” said Danny Di Perna, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Alstom.
