Hexagon Purus, a manufacturer of zero-emission mobility and infrastructure solutions, has entered into a multi-year agreement with Stadler, a manufacturer of rail applications, for the delivery of hydrogen fuel storage systems for hydrogen rail applications in California, US.
The Type 4 hydrogen fuel storage systems will be produced in Hexagon Purus’ facility in Kassel, Germany.
“At Stadler, we are committed to reducing operational emissions and developing efficient and environmentally friendly rail solutions in collaboration with experienced partners, like Hexagon Purus. Leveraging our extensive portfolio and leadership in alternative drive systems, we provide our customers with solutions tailored to their needs," said Martin Ritter, CEO Division Stadler US.
“Hydrogen is an attractive solution to decarbonise rail transport, especially for regions like California where full electrification is not viable,” added Michael Kleschinski, Executive Vice President of Hydrogen Mobility and Infrastructure. “We are thrilled to sign this agreement with Stadler as a continuation of our long-term collaboration, and we are looking forward to supporting their efforts in rolling out hydrogen trains in the US.”
