The UK is using dual-mode technology called hydroFlex, which allows trains to switch from hydrogen to catenary power wherever it is available, as it plans to phase out all its railway engines by 2040.
Allstom's Coradia iLint trains used in Lower Saxony can reach a top speed of 140 kmph and have a maximum range of 1,000 km, with each train unit carrying 130 kg of hydrogen that can be filled in 15 minutes. .
