Hydrogen Train: Continuous changes are being seen in Indian Railways for the last several years. New technology, better tracks and environment-friendly experiments are becoming the identity of Railways. In this series, the first hydrogen train is going to start soon in the country. This train has reached Jind and necessary technical preparations are being completed before its operation. At present testing of train and hydrogen plant is going on.

For which expert teams of RDSO from Lucknow are present on the spot. The train will be given the green signal only after detailed inspection of the machines, equipment and safety systems. Let us tell you that this train has been completely designed and developed in India. This is considered to be the world’s longest and most powerful hydrogen train running on broad gauge. On which day will this hydrogen train hit the tracks? Know the date.

When can hydrogen train service start?

Now the biggest question regarding the hydrogen train is when will the passengers get a chance to travel in this train. According to railway officials, the country’s first hydrogen train will run on the Jind to Sonipat route after January 20. At present, trials of train and hydrogen plant are going on.

As soon as the trials and safety tests are completed. The train will be given the green signal. And the train will start for regular passengers. However, its date has not been decided yet. But all the preparations are almost complete. In such a situation, it is believed that this train can start for passengers any time after January 20.

How many passengers will be able to travel?

This hydrogen train has 10 coaches and its total power is 2400 kilowatts. There are two driving power cars in the train. The capacity of each of which is 1200 kilowatts. About 2500 passengers will be able to travel in it at one time. Its maximum speed has been kept at 140 kilometers per hour. Talking about fuel, this train can travel about 180 kilometers with 360 kg hydrogen.

This means that about two kilos of hydrogen will be spent in walking one kilometre. In comparison, a diesel train consumes four and a half liters of diesel in one kilometer. This train has cost about Rs 82 crore and its coaches have been manufactured at the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai.

The journey would be completely different without sound

This train has been prepared on the lines of metro. The train will leave the station only after the coach doors are completely closed. There will be almost no sound during running. Due to which the passengers will get a calm and comfortable traveling experience. Fans, lights, AC and digital displays have been installed in every coach. On which information about the next station will be available in advance.

The engine is completely based on hydrogen fuel cell technology. In this, electricity is generated by the controlled reaction of hydrogen and oxygen. Which charges the battery. Instead of smoke, only water and steam come out. Due to which carbon emission remains nominal and its impact on the environment is very less.

Indian Railways has taken a big step forward towards running the country’s first hydrogen-powered train. Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha that the construction of the country’s first hydrogen train-set has been completed. This train set has been developed as per the standards set by Research, Design and Standards Organization (RDSO). Now, to supply the hydrogen required for the operation of the train, a green hydrogen production plant based on electrolysis process is also being established in Jind, Haryana.

The Railway Minister has said that this hydrogen train set is the longest and most powerful hydrogen train-set. Also, this train-set has been completely indigenously designed and developed, which also shows the commitment of Indian Railways towards self-reliant India.

World’s longest and most powerful hydrogen train

According to the Railway Minister, the country’s first hydrogen train-set is the world’s longest (10 coaches) and most powerful (2400 kW) hydrogen train-set running on broad gauge. This train-set consists of two Driving Power Cars (DPC) with a capacity of 1200 kW per power car i.e. 2400 kW in total.

8 passenger coaches installed in hydrogen train

Eight passenger coaches have been installed in the hydrogen train set. Environment friendly technology has been used. This hydrogen-powered train set produces zero carbon dioxide emissions and its only emission is water vapour. This next generation railway fuel technology is a big leap for Indian Railways in the development of clean, green and alternative fuel based technology.

The Railway Minister has said in reply that this is the first effort of Indian Railways from the first phase of the project to prototype construction and development of hydrogen traction technology. Since it is still a pilot project, it is not right to compare its cost with the existing conventional traction systems.

The government is constantly making efforts to increase railway connectivity. Railways are developing rapidly in India. In today’s time, modern options like hydrogen trains, metro, rapid rail and Vande Bharat Express are offering fast, safe and comfortable travel for passengers. But the question is, who is the fastest? Let us know about these trains and know what is their speed.

Hydrogen train

India is going to start its first hydrogen train soon, which will be the largest hydrogen train in the world. This train will run between Jind to Sonipat in Haryana. This hydrogen train will run at a speed of 110 to 140 kmph. This train is very favorable for the environment, as it causes almost zero pollution compared to diesel engines.

Metro

The metro is called the beating of cities. Metro rail is the backbone of transport in big cities of India. Delhi Metro is the largest metro system in the country, the maximum speed of which is 80 kilometers per hour. Since the metro is made for short distances and cities, its average speed remains around 50 km/h.

Rapid rail

Talking about Rapid Rail, Rapid Rail, now called ‘Namo Bharat’, is made for routes like Delhi-Meerut. Its maximum speed is 180 kilometers per hour and it can complete 82 kilometers in just 50 minutes.

Vande Metro

India’s Shan Vande Bharat Express is India’s semi-high-speed train, which is 180 km per hour, but most average speeds are 83-96 km/h.

Whose speed is the highest

The speed of both Vande Bharat Train and Rapid Rail is almost equal. The maximum speed of the rapid rail is stated to be 180 km per hour but currently it has been tried at a speed of 160 km per hour. Talking about Vande Bharat train, its top speed has been kept at 180 km per hour. While it has been allowed to run at a speed of 160 kmph on the railway track. Which depends on the railway track. Rapid rail and Vande India are the fastest. Vande India is made for long distance while the rapid rail is made for medium distance journey.
