| Project Detail |
The project consists of the acquisition of 14 hydrogen-powered trainsets for passenger services on the Brescia - Edolo railway line and of around 40 hydrogen buses for services on several routes in Lombardy, construction of a new rail rolling stock maintenance depot in Rovato, construction of hydrogen production and storage facilities in Brescia, Iseo and Edolo, hydrogen refuelling stations for trains and buses, as well as for road light and heavy duty vehicles, other associated works and installation.
Objectives
The aim is to contribute to the decarbonisation of rail, public transport and road transport in Lombardy, which is expected to increase the quality of rail and public transport services as well as promote travel by rail, reduce the usage of private vehicles and the associated negative impacts on the local environment and road safety. The project will also contribute to the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure along the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). It will thus contribute to reduction of pollution and greenhouse emissions and, thereby, contribute to the sustainable transport in line with EU objectives.
