WIVA P&G HyTrain
Hydrogen Train Knowledge “Made in Austria”
The background to the WIVA P&G HyTrain research project is the regional development project ‘Zillertalbahn 2020+ energy-autonomous with hydrogen‘. It has been under development since 2016 as part of the green hydrogen economy currently being established in Central Europe. Through the Climate and Energy Fund, the Ministry for Climate Protection has been funding the development of a drive train, including refuelling, for a hydrogen train since 2020. In this funded lighthouse project Austrian expertiseis being built up for the development, quality assurance and risk minimisation of the procurement, takeover, operation and warranty processes.
