The first hydrogen passenger train emerged in Berlin in 2016, created by Alstom and named Coradia iLint. A zero-emissions train, it can carry up to 150 seated passengers with a range of 1,000km and a speed of 140 km per hour, emitting just steam and condensed water. It started commercial services in 2018. Alstom's managing director for Germany and Austria stated, "Our two pre-series trains of the Coradia iLint have proven over the past year and a half that fuel cell technology can be used successfully in daily passenger service."
