Deutz also introduced a new fueling system for hydrogen tanks. These tanks can store between 4 and 80 kg of hydrogen, making them adaptable for a wide range of transport applications. Hydrogen technology reduces emissions and decreases the reliance on fossil fuels.

Benefits of the Hydrogen Engine in Railway Transport

The Stadler RS ZERO railbus, powered by two Deutz hydrogen engines, was another highlight at InnoTrans. Ansgar Brockmeyer, a representative from Stadler, highlighted the engine’s compact design and ease of maintenance. Operators can easily transition to hydrogen technology because it uses existing diesel maintenance systems.

Hydrogen engines also lower operating costs by relying on renewable fuel. The Deutz hydrogen engines can use the existing infrastructure for maintenance, which helps reduce costs and simplifies the adoption of this eco-friendly technology.
