Coradia iLint

The Coradia iLint is a version of the Coradia Lint 54 powered by a hydrogen fuel cell.

Announced at InnoTrans 2016, the new model is the world's first production hydrogen-powered trainset. The Coradia iLint is able to reach 140 kilometres per hour (87 mph) and travel 600–800 kilometres (370–500 mi) on a full tank of hydrogen. It is assembled at Alstom's Salzgitter plant. It began rolling tests at 80 km/h (50 mph) in March 2017. On 16 September 2018, the first Coradia iLint entered service on the Buxtehude-Bremervörde-Bremerhaven-Cuxhaven line in Lower Saxony, Germany.

A mobile hydrogen filling station refuels the trains, but a stationary station is set to be built by 2021, along with 14 more train sets.

In 2019, Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund, the transit network serving the Frankfurt Rhine-Main region, ordered 27 iLint multiple-units to be delivered by December 2022. Each train will have 160 seats. The units will replace diesel trains currently plying the RB11 Frankfurt-Höchst – Bad Soden, RB12 Frankfurt – Königstein, RB15 Frankfurt – Bad Homburg – Brandoberndorf and RB16 Friedrichsdorf – Friedberg routes.
