First train with new-energy fuel cells

China‘s first new energy fuel cell light-rail train, jointly developed by the China North Vehicle Yongji Electric Motor and Southwest Jiaotong University, recently had its first test runs.

It adopts hydrogen as the energy for the fuel cells. This energy drives the advanced permanent-magnet synchronous motor and frequency converter independently developed by the China North Vehicle Yongji as its main source of power.

Meanwhile, China North Vehicle Yongji also independently took on the tasks of vehicle design as well as research and development.

English People’s Daily Online reports the permanent-magnet synchronous motor adopted by the China’s first new-energy fuel cell light-rail train has high power, high efficiency, remarkable energy conservation, low vibration and minimal noise.
