OPmobility to Equip Stadler's First Hydrogen Trains in Europe

OPmobility has secured a significant contract from Stadler to outfit hydrogen-powered regional trains in Italy. The company will provide high-pressure hydrogen storage systems and 150-kW fuel cell systems, with deliveries expected through late 2025.

OPmobility will create and supply 350-bar hydrogen storage systems and 150-kW fuel cell systems for these trains. The high-pressure systems will store about 185 kg of hydrogen, while the fuel cells will generate electricity for the train's electric motors.

Initially, OPmobility will equip 15 trains and plans to increase delivery numbers in the future. These hydrogen trains, with their long range and quick refueling times, are viewed as a sustainable option for decarbonizing rail transport.

Laurent Favre, CEO of OPmobility, emphasized that this contract strengthens the company's leading position in hydrogen mobility. He noted that collaboration, as seen with Stadler, is crucial for advancing hydrogen solutions in rail mobility and contributing to the energy transition.
