The challenge of decarbonizing rail transport Today, a large proportion of the world’s rail networks are not electrified, including 95% of lines in the United States, 40% in Europe and 28% in China. At present, diesel-powered trains operate on these lines. To decarbonize rail transport, operators are increasingly turning to hydrogen trains. Compatible with all kinds of lines, hydrogen trains do not require significant investments in infrastructure. And with considerable range and short refueling times, these trains are a powerful boost to the energy transition and offer major growth potential. In July 2024, Stadler chose OPmobility to equip its first hydrogen trains in Europe. This major contract, signed with one of the world’s leading rail manufacturers, confirms OPmobility’s technology leadership in a growth sector.
