CAF & FCH2Rail
CAF is the technology leader of the European FCH2Rail project with designs to develop a dual-mode (electric-hydrogen) train prototype. This vehicle will be able to run along electrified lines powered by the catenary and also powered by hydrogen on lines or sections which are not electrified, thereby optimising overall consumption.
