How India`s first hydrogen-powered train will make its own electricity and ferry 2,600 passengers

What sets this train apart from the usual electric or diesel locomotives is that it makes its own electricity on board, using a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell. Hydrogen kept in onboard cylinders reacts with oxygen from the air inside the fuel cell, producing electricity that drives the train's traction motors.
