On October 16, China’s first hydrogen-powered tourism train, the "Qingchun" was unveiled in Changchun, marking a significant step in the nation’s hydrogen-powered rail transit technology.
The train, developed by CRRC Changchun, is equipped with a built-in hydrogen-powered system, achieving zero carbon emissions. It operates without overhead catenary power supply and combines local cultural and tourist characteristics to provide a green and economical solution for modern urban mobility. Designed to withstand the low temperatures in Northeast China, the “Qingchun” overcomes the challenge of hydrogen fuel cell performance degradation in cold environments. In addition, it supports flexible configuration of 1 to 6 cars, making it ideal for both daily commuting and immersive sightseeing experiences.
Building on its rail transit expertise, CRRC has developed six clean energy equipment industry clusters, including new energy power equipment and new energy vehicle equipment, aiming to build an integrated industrial ecosystem.
