Hydrogen-powered FLIRT H2 multiple unit for the San Bernadino County Transportation Authority, USA
The FLIRT H2 multiple unit for the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) is the first hydrogen-powered passenger train for the USA and is instrumental in bringing zero-emission rail technology to the USA. The FLIRT H2 multiple unit is intended for passenger service for the Redlands Passenger Rail Project in California.
The Redlands Passenger Rail Project is a 14-kilometre link between Redlands and the San Bernardino Metrolink station. The FLIRT H2 vehicle consists of two cars and a middle section referred to as the “PowerPack”. This holds the fuel cells and the hydrogen tanks. In the “PowerPack”, hydrogen is converted into electric current, which is stored in a traction battery.
The battery then supplies the vehicle’s drive system, HVAC system and other comfort facilities with power. In this configuration, the train can also recover kinetic energy when braking, so that this can also be re-used to drive the train.
The train can seat 108 passengers and offers plenty of additional standing room. It can reach a maximum speed of 130 kilometres per hour (79 mph).
