The hybrid trains utilize an energy-saving combination of alternative fuel sources, such as hydrogen fuel cells, CNG, LNG, and electric batteries. This energy-saving combination also helps in reducing environmental pollution significantly. A battery-powered train offers more flexibility, requiring no expensive infrastructure such as a third rail or overhead line. Hence, such flexibility offered by battery-powered trains can be integrated into a non-electrified rail track. Thus, hybrid and battery-powered trains can provide higher fuel efficiency and reduced operational costs compared to other trains.
As hybrid trains help to reduce carbon footprints, their demand is increasing in Europe. Also, it helps to attain climate-neutral initiatives of the government and various organizations, further fueling the Europe hybrid and battery-powered train market growth. For instance, in January 2022, Alstom, a French manufacturer, and Deutsche Bahn—a German railway company—announced their plan to start the first battery-powered passenger train in Germany. This agreement has been a major step toward Deutsche Bahn's goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2040. Various other European countries are also focusing on reducing environmental pollution through sustainable and efficient transportation. For instance, in June 2022, the European Commission planned to invest in 135 transport infrastructures under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). The commission allotted approximately US$ 5.68 billion to make transport more sustainable and efficient.
