[PRNewswire] CRRC Launches Two Innovative Green Intelligent Trains

CRRC Launches the CINOVA H2 New Energy Intelligent Intercity Train at InnoTrans 2024.

-- Revolutionizing Rail Transit with Zero-Emission, Ultra-Long Range, and Autonomous Driving Solutions

BERLIN Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire=연합뉴스/ -- CRRC Corporation Limited [https://www.crrcgc.cc/en/ ] ("CRRC", SHA: 601766) unveiled two groundbreaking products at InnoTrans 2024 in Berlin, Germany: the CINOVA H2 New Energy Intelligent Intercity Train ("CINOVA H2") and the Autonomous Rail Rapid Transit (ART) 2.0, showcasing its commitment to pioneering eco-friendly and smart transportation solutions.

CINOVA H2 New Energy Intelligent Intercity Train: A Marathoner in Zero-Carbon Mobility

CINOVA H₂, the latest green zero-carbon passenger intercity train from CRRC, boasts world-class technical specifications in terms of speed, passenger capacity, and range. Technical expert Liang Caiguo from CRRC explains that the train is powered by hydrogen, which generates electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen, producing only water as a byproduct, ensuring zero carbon emissions throughout operation. With an estimated annual operation of 300,000 kilometers, each train can cut down carbon dioxide emissions by about 730 tons annually.

"Its design emphasizes a green and sustainable approach," said Liang Caiguo. "The water emitted from the hydrogen fuel cell reaction is purified and recycled to meet passenger water needs. Additionally, the waste heat from cooling the hydrogen fuel cell is repurposed for heating the air conditioning system during winter."

CINOVA H₂ can reach a top speed of 200 kilometers per hour, with a four-car formation carrying over 1,000 passengers. It has a continuous running range of 1,200 kilometers at 160 km/h, exceeding the distance from Berlin to London, consuming less than 0.3 grams of hydrogen per passenger per kilometer.

Utilizing the CRRC's SmartCare intelligent operation and maintenance (O&M) system, CINOVA H₂ integrates the data from vehicle and ground, offering users comprehensive lifecycle intelligent operation & maintenance services that enhance operational safety and reduce maintenance costs. The hydrogen system has undergone rigorous safety verification under all scenarios and conditions, featuring multiple safety protection systems, such as intelligent detection and isolation protection to ensure safety.

CINOVA H₂ is versatile and can be used on non-electrified railways worldwide, replacing traditional internal combustion engine powered vehicle, effectively reducing carbon dioxide and air pollutant emissions, and promoting green upgrades in the railway industry.

ART 2.0: Harmonious Fusion of Eco-Innovation and Oriental Elegance

The ART 2.0, presented in a "Green Peacock" livery, features vibrant emerald and golden motifs, symbolizing prosperity and hope. " It combines green technology with oriental aesthetics, providing both a stunning visual experience and top-tier performance," noted Dr. Xiao Lei, an engineer from CRRC. Designed for medium-to-low passenger volumes, the ART blends the benefits of trams and road-based vehicles, adapting to the needs of urban transportation.
