SIEMENS MOBILITY AND TYCZKA HYDROGEN COOPERATE IN THE HYDROGEN RAILWAY SECTOR

Hydrogen is one of the main technologies to decarbonize the railway sector by switching from fossil diesel to renewable fuels in particular on routes, which are hard to electrify. From the train operator's perspective, an integrated approach towards fossil-free mobility does not only require hydrogen-powered trains and corresponding maintenance services but also needs to cover the entire supply chain for green hydrogen fuel.

In April 2024 Siemens Mobility and Tyczka Hydrogen signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) establishing cooperation in order to accelerate the transformation towards hydrogen-powered railway mobility. Both companies have agreed to work together towards solutions across the full supply chain including hydrogen production, storage, distribution and refueling as well as delivery and maintenance of fuel cell trains. Additionally, Smart Train Lease, a subsidiary of Siemens Mobility, offers hydrogen trains for rent.

Albrecht Neumann, CEO Rolling Stock at Siemens Mobility: “Delivering carbon-neutral mobility as never been easier. With Siemens Mobility, Smart Train Lease and Tyczka, three strong partners are now working hand in hand for the first time to serve the hydrogen rail market with new and alternative concepts along the value chain, such as offers for leasing trains as well as the corresponding hydrogen infrastructure and supply.”
