China's first homegrown hydrogen-powered intercity train completes test

China's first homegrown hydrogen-powered train completed its full-load running test at the speed of 160 kph on Thursday, it is a groundbreaking record for achieving performance verification of a full-system, full-scenario, and multi-level test of the hydrogen train.

Equipped with a built-in hydrogen power system, the average energy consumption per kilometer of the train is 5 kWh during the test, which is on par with world-leading levels, and the maximum mileage of this train can reach more than 1,000 kilometers.

The train is developed by CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles Co Ltd in Changchun, Northeast China's Jilin province.
