Hydrogen has the advantage of being a chemical form of storing energy. This can help in the railway sector to bridge gaps between parts of the track where electric power is available and parts which are not electrified yet. Battery power is not the one-fits-all solution, especially for heavy freight trains or also in other…

Sustainable solutions like this will be necessary especially for countries with a currently high amount of fossil energy sources. Good to see this development into the right direction! PKP Power Engineering issues tender for hydrogen-based energy storage components – International Railway Journal
Railway safety is a critical aspect of transportation that ensures the protection of passengers, staff, and infrastructure. Adhering to established safety norms is essential for minimizing risks and enhancing the reliability of railway systems. This blog post will explore key European railway safety standards EN 50126, EN 50128, and EN 50129. Safety measures are essential…
Part 1: Understanding the role of friction In the world of trains, speed is often the star of the show. The rush of the landscape whizzing by is the sensation that captures our imagination. Yet, as any experienced engineer will tell you, the real hero of the railway isnât the power to go, but the…
