據(jù)CNBC網(wǎng)站3月16日消息 在德國(guó)南部巴伐利亞州部署氫動(dòng)力列車的計(jì)劃又向前邁出了一步。此前，西門子移動(dòng)和鐵路運(yùn)營(yíng)商巴伐利亞鐵路公司簽署了一份租賃合同。

該合同于周二簽署，以去年夏季的意向書(shū)為基礎(chǔ)。

在周三的一份聲明中，西門子表示，原型列車將于2023年年中開(kāi)始在奧格斯堡和弗斯之間的線路上進(jìn)行測(cè)試，該列車將于2024年1月正式開(kāi)始客運(yùn)服務(wù)。

兩輛編組的列車基于西門子移動(dòng)公司的Mireo Plus平臺(tái)，將使用安裝在屋頂上的燃料電池，并包含地板下的電池。

西門子移動(dòng)公司的機(jī)車車輛首席執(zhí)行官阿爾布雷希特·諾伊曼將Mireo Plus H描述為“高驅(qū)動(dòng)功率、卓越的加速能力和廣的工作范圍”。

諾伊曼表示：“氫動(dòng)力驅(qū)動(dòng)是一種無(wú)排放、先進(jìn)的列車推進(jìn)方式，可使鐵路運(yùn)輸脫碳，為實(shí)現(xiàn)我們的氣候目標(biāo)做出重大貢獻(xiàn)。”

Hydrogen-powered train a step closer to passenger service in Germany

Plans to deploy a hydrogen-powered train in the southern German state of Bavaria took a step forward this week after Siemens Mobility and rail operator Bayerische Regiobahn put pen to paper on a leasing contract.

The signing of the contract, which took place on Tuesday, builds upon a letter of intent from last summer.

In a statement Wednesday, Siemens said testing of the prototype train would start in mid-2023 on routes including one between Augsburg and Füsse, with the train slated to officially begin a passenger service in Jan. 2024.

The two-car train is based around Siemens Mobility’s Mireo Plus platform. It will use fuel cells that are roof-mounted and incorporate underfloor batteries.

Albrecht Neumann, rolling stock CEO at Siemens Mobility — a separately managed business of Siemens — described the Mireo Plus H as featuring “high driving power, excellent acceleration capability and a large operating range.”

“The hydrogen-powered drive is an emission-free, advanced form of propulsion for trains that decarbonizes rail transport and makes a substantial contribution toward reaching our climate goals,” Neumann said.
