Tech: World's First Hydrogen Fuel Cell Powered Rail Vehicle Created In China by dhsfbi(m): 12:08am On Mar 30, 2015 |
Few days ago, Chinese government execute one of its plan to eradicate pollution problem and at the same time boost rail technology. Tram not train, an hydrogen powered rail vehicle, the first in the world was rolled off production line at Quigdao Sifang Co. Tram is powered by a new technology that has only been seen in Toyota Mirai sedan, it uses Hydrogen fuel cells which generate electricity by creating a chemical reaction using hydrogen and oxygen. The only byproduct of this reaction is water which is pollution free. According to our source, tram has the capacity to carry 380 passengers, it can run 62 miles with a speed of 43 miles per hour (43mph) before it needs refueling. One of the limitation that might be facing the future use of this new technology is that there are only 83 miles of tram tracks in seven cities in china, But according to the Xinhua state news agency, china will invest $32 billion over the next five years to increase the tram track to more than 1,200 miles. According to Foshan ( a city of 8 million in Guangdong province of china ) official in foshan daily, "the city will also work with SAIC Motor, China's largest automaker, to produce parts for fuel-cell cars." Even though SAIC, last year said its goal was to advance hybrid and electric models, while keeping fuel-cell vehicles in research and test runs. In another report, foshan was said to have invested $72 million in a plan with Sifang to manufacture the trams locally for nationwide distribution, and they (Foshan city and Sifang) both agreed to create a national hydrogen-power research center. Hydrogen powered car and tram will provide pollution-free public transportation with vehicles using clean renewable energy. Toyota Mirai is expected to go on sale later this year in the U.S SOURCE:http://www.techgists.com/2015/03/tech-worlds-first-hydrogen-fuel-cell.html 1 Like

OIL MIGHT NOT BE IN DEMAND IN THE FUTURE SO OIL REVENUE DEPENDENT COUNTRIES SHOULD LOOK FOR OTHER SOURCES OF VALUE CREATION TO CREATE VALUE SOME MIDDLE EAST COUNTRIES ARE ALREADY LOOKING AT OTHER NON OIL SOURCES OF INCOME |
