Siemens Reveals Mireo Plus H – A Train With Zero Emissions

The mobility arm of Siemens reveals Mireo Plus H, a train that combines reliable, sustainable traction with superior passenger comfort and optimal cost-efficiency in life cycle costs.

 

Siemens says that Mireo Plus H is exceptional because it uses a fuel cell; thus, making it a clean and emissions-free means of transport. Additionally, it operates without an overhead contact line. This gives it the independence that electrical coaches that rely on an electrical line situated over the tracks lack.

 

Instead, it is powered by a safe hydrogen tank, an efficient fuel cell for generating clean electricity, and powerful drives. This equally makes it fast with ‘high acceleration values’. Mireo Plus H is not complicated and works like regular trains.

 

“Even refueling with hydrogen takes no longer than it does with a comparable diesel multiple unit. If you fuel with green hydrogen generated from renewable sources, you can even achieve zero CO2 emissions,” Siemens says in a blog post.

Also, since a very large amount of energy per volumetric unit can be stored in hydrogen and recovered in the fuel cell as electricity the train can cover long distances. “[It] is the one most suited for long-distance routes,” the company says.

 

Mireo Plus H trains can cover ranges of up to 600 km as a two-part train, and from 800 to 1,000 km as a three-part train. However, Siemens also mentions Mireo Plus B trains that are best choices for distances up to 120 km.

 

The trains are part of Siemens aim for climate-neutral public transportation. It also offers renewable energy sources to cloud-based signaling systems. Siemens joins the host of tech companies trying to reduce carbon traces in the atmosphere.
