Hydrogen Tram Hyundai Rotem

Hyundai Rotem's Hydrogen fuel cell tram under development uses a hybrid method that combines a hydrogen fuel cell with a battery. The hydrogen fuel cell produces electricity using hydrogen supplied from a hydrogen tank and saves secondary power in an energy storage system (ESS), namely, the battery. The hydrogen fuel cell tram is a future transportation with various advantages.

Hyundai Rotem's hydrogen fuel cell tram won the iF Design Award 2023 for its excellence design and it is the first time in Korean railway industry to win the global design award. Dive into Hyundai Rotem's Hydrogen Fuel Cell Tram website offers an in. InnoTrans 2024: Take a look at Hyundai Rotem's hydrogen fuel cell tram for the city of Daejeon in the Republic of Korea.

Hyundai Rotem has already published an infographic with the technical parameters of the low-floor tram. The tram will be equipped with four 90 kW hydrogen fuel cell units. The basic model with a height of 3.7 m will have a range of more than 150 km, while the model with an increased height of 4 m will have a range of more than 200 km.

The use of hydrogen as part of fuel cell technology in public transport vehicles has been in practical use for several years - so far most widely in the bus sector. The first concepts for use in trams are now also in the realisation phase: at Innotrans 2024, Korean manufacturer Hyundai Rotem presented the first []. Hyundai Rotem to supply 34 hydrogen trams to Daejeon.

Daejeon municipality signed a 293 4bn won contract with Hyundai Rotem on July 25 for the supply of 34 hydrogen vehicles to run on Daejeon's planned first light rail route, Line 2. The trams are scheduled to be delivered from the first half of 2026 to mid. The tram's operational efficiency, with a 150km range on a single refueling, addresses concerns about range limitations commonly associated with electric vehicles.

The development of liquid hydrogen engine trains further underscores Hyundai Rotem's commitment to transitioning the broader rail industry towards sustainable practices.
