Siemens Mobility rolls out new hydrogen-powered trains in Germany

Siemens Mobility has entered seven Mireo Plus H hydrogen-powered trains into service on the Heidekrautbahn line in Berlin-Brandenburg, Germany.

Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn Betriebsgesellschaft (NEB) will operate the trains, which will be powered by locally produced hydrogen and fuel cells, with a reported operating range of up to 1,200km.
