Accelera fuel cell powers Austrian HY2RAIL freight locomotive

Recently，First by Cummins' Zero Carbon brandAcceleraRailway Freight Locomotive Driven by Fuel Cell Successfully Commissioned in Austria，Achieve a milestone breakthrough。AcceleraFuel cells become AustriaHY2RAILLight rail locomotive developed by the project(OTM)The main driving force of the renovation project。

Austrian Railway AdministrationOBB，Known for managing one of the most advanced railway systems in Europe，This time withOBBAtHY2RAILThe cooperation on the project fully demonstrates that fuel cells can sustainably meet the power needs of heavy freight locomotives.。

Austrian Engineering Consultants Ltd.m.ZEROWillAcceleraThe fuel cell module is integrate into a 120kWThe power system of，Provide power for the locomotive。This customized system meets stringent railway Vehicle standards.，Including European standardsEN 61373，This standard defines the requirements for shock and vibration testing in railway applications.。

In addition，m.ZEROAndAcceleraYeah, all of themBOPThe integration of accessories and interfaces is jointly managed and controlled.。AcceleraCombination and matching of fuel cell system and ternary lithium battery system，Integrated to contain cutting-edge electric power、On-board hydrogen storage technology、Hybrid powertrain for Vehicle control units and software。The system integration work is performed bym.ZEROAndHY2RAILThe project is completed together。

OBBThe Technical Services DepartmentTrainTechIt has played a key role in promoting the modernization of rail Vehicles.。This locomotive system was rebuilt beforeOBB XConstruction and maintenance of rail vehicles for Type 534 catenary，Propulsion system using diesel power generation，After installing the new fuel cell power system，Zero emission operation can be realized.。

AcceleraGeneral Manager of Fuel Cell Hydrogen Energy TechnologyAlison TruebloodExpress：

“Application of Fuel Cell Technology to Freight Locomotives，Further strengthening our position as a major fuel cell supplier to the rail sector in the European market。The project builds on our experience in passenger train applications and our ability to support the dynamic rail market，The feasibility of hydrogen energy technology in the field of zero-emission heavy transportation is further confirmed.。”

m.ZEROChief Executive OfficerHerbert WancuraExpress：

“AcceleraOn-demand and on-time delivery of fuel cells shows that zero-emission technology is not only feasible，At the same time, it is economical and environmentally friendly., It is the right choice for us to use fuel cells for this project.，We are confident that we can work with our railway equipment suppliers to achieve zero carbon emissions.，And look forward to working again with AcceleraCooperative follow-up projects。”

HY2RAILThe project brings together industry leading railway organisations and expertise，Co-funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency。
