Hybrid train debuts in Japan
20 October 2006
Source: The Engineer Online
Excerpts:
1. East Japan Railway (JR East) has demonstrated an environmentally friendly fuel cell hybrid train it developed, powered by a storage battery and two 65KW fuel cells.
2. The New Energy Train (NE Train) can run at a maximum speed of 100 kph and it can travel for 50 to 100km between hydrogen refuelling stops, discharging only water. The train can store the energy that is produced when it brakes, and hence unlike conventional trains it does not require a constant supply of electricity from overhead wires.
3. Japan hopes to make it a commuting train 10 or 20 years from now.
4. It is estimated that the NE Train will consume about 20 per cent less energy than traditional trains.
5. The new trains could be used in remote areas where there are no overhead power lines.
