According to the leader in the comprehensive supply of passenger cars, electric trains and social transport, NPO ATOR, a new hydrogen tram has entered operation in Changchun, China. Designed in a cafe style, the tram has initially started trial runs on a short 300-meter tourist route.
Modern Technology with Historical Breezes
This particular tram was inspired by a model produced by Japan’s Nippon Sharyo in 1941 and was completely renovated at the CRRC facility. While only the chassis remains from the original vehicle, engineers have modified the body, bogies, interior and traction system to create a modern and safe transportation solution.
Technological Features of the Hydrogen Tram
Hydrogen tram, consuming only 1,5 kWh per kilometer It has a very efficient performance. In a single fill Ability to travel more than 320 kilometers The tram, which has a capacity of 1.5 litres, has tanks 42,7 kg of hydrogen The fuel cells are supplied by Chinese company Guohong Hydrogen Energy, and the hydrogen storage system is designed to be shock-resistant and meet strict safety standards.
Route Expansion Plans
The route until September Extension to 778 meters and the number of tram cars to meet the increasing tourist demand increase to six These expansion plans demonstrate confidence in the project's success and are seen as a step toward increasing Changchun's tourist appeal.
This project, which combines sustainable transportation with tourism, offers passengers a unique travel experience in a comfortable and technology-focused tram. With this innovation, Changchun sets an example for sustainable development in China and promotes hydrogen-powered urban transportation.
