Russian Railways, Sinara Group and RUSNANO to develop hydrogen fuel cell mainline locomotives

Green Car Congress

From 2025, we plan to purchase only electric locomotives, as well as locomotives operating on alternative energy sources such as natural gas and hydrogen. This will enable us to further reduce the environmental burden on the environment. Russian Railways accounts for less than 1% of Russia’s total volume of greenhouse emissions.

What Are Zero Emission Day and National Drive Electric Week?

Blink Charging

In the EV world, there is a concept called “well to wheel emissions,” which considers fossil fuel emissions during the charging process depending on the electricity generation itself. They’re better for the environment, even when accounting for their manufacturing carbon emissions and when using electricity from coal plants.
