Adina Vălean, the EU's commissioner for transport, sees the shift to new modes of mobility as a pan-European endeavour.

"

“In the years to come rail transport will be the focus of European transport policy, and InnoTrans, the leading international trade fair for transport technology, provides a valuable insight into how our plans will become reality. I am looking forward to witnessing some of the 250 innovations on display at this year’s InnoTrans, which will contribute to making rail transport and public transport more sustainable and resilient.“

InnoTrans is also showing 124 new cars outdoors and on 3,500 metres of rail track. Trains propelled by hydrogen are among them.

The Mireo Plus H, the newest generation of hydrogen-powered trains, and the Mireo Plus B, which has a high-performance flexible battery system,
are being introduced by Siemens Mobility.

Alstom's Coradia iLint hydrogen-powered passenger train is now in use on German commercial rail lines
and scheduled to run twice daily between Berlin-Spandau and Berlin-Ostbahnhof.

Selected partners and guests of Alstom will be able to take a test drive.

The double-decker Coradia Stream, a high-capacity train for regional services, and the Traxx locomotive with
a last-mile option, which employs the European Train Control System, are two examples of the exhibits being displayed by Alstom in the outdoor display area.

This year, Stadler is participating with seven vehicles. The business is introducing its hydrogen-powered FLIRT H2 multiple unit train for the American passenger rail market to the public for the first time.
