Accelera technology is at the heart of both the
train’s fuel cell system and the green-hydrogen-producing
electrolyzer that fuels it
Accelera™ by Cummins, the zero-emission business segment of
Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI), is powering North America’s first
hydrogen passenger train, marking a major milestone and significant
step forward in the transition to clean urban transportation in the
Americas. The train, the Coradia iLint, is manufactured by Alstom,
the global green and smart mobility leader.
The Coradia iLint train entered service in Canada on June 17 as
part of Alstom’s demonstration project, aiding in the development
and marketability of hydrogen propulsion technology in North
America. The train is operating with passengers on board for the
entire summer season on the railway of Train de Charlevoix, an
iconic line crossing the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of the Charlevoix
region in the Province of Quebec, Canada.
A key element of the project is the utilization of Accelera fuel
cells in conjunction with green hydrogen. Mounted to the roof of
the train, the fuel cells work to convert hydrogen into
electricity, which powers the train. The green hydrogen used in
Alstom’s Coradia iLint train is produced by an Accelera
HySTAT®-100-10 electrolyzer, which is owned and operated in Quebec
by project partner Harnois Énergies.
“Together with our visionary partners, we are reshaping the way
people travel and inspiring a future where efficiency,
sustainability and innovation go hand in hand,” said Alison
Trueblood, General Manager of Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Technologies
at Accelera. "By leveraging the capabilities of hydrogen-powered
technology and our expertise in green hydrogen production, we’re
driving innovation – providing zero-emission solutions for the
urban mobility challenges today’s congested cities face."
As Accelera continues to push the boundaries of innovation, it
remains committed to shaping a sustainable future where
transportation not only connects people but also preserves the
planet. The Coradia iLint will be operational for passenger rides
through the end of September. For information on routes and

About Alstom’s Coradia iLint
Alstom’s Coradia iLint first entered commercial service in
Germany in 2018 and has travelled more than 220,000 kilometres in
eight European countries. Currently, Coradia iLint is operating in
commercial service on two different networks in Germany. The train
is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell that emits only water vapour
during operation, while ensuring a quieter environment for
passengers and those close to tracks. On September 15, 2022, the
Coradia iLint travelled the record distance of 1,175 kilometres
without refuelling. Coradia iLint has a top speed of 140 km/h and
acceleration and a braking performance comparable to a standard
regional diesel train – but without the noise and the emissions.
Coradia iLint stands out for its combination of innovative
features: clean energy conversion, flexible energy storage in
batteries, smart traction and energy management. Designed
especially for non-electrified lines, it allows for safe, clean and
sustainable operations. To date, 41 trainsets have been ordered by
clients in Europe. Learn more.
