Additional information

This paper presents the results from an analysis of fuel cell hybrid traction systems on commuter railways and is the first to show it is feasible to have a hybrid traction system. It was informed by a research collaboration with Vehicle Projects, USA. It addresses a problem faced by railway operators around the world in providing sustainable future propulsion systems. This paper was directly used as evidence at the Government's Energy and Climate Change Select Committee, and has been used as the basis of the design of a hydrogen prototype locomotive in Birmingham which has received international recognition.
