Saudi TGA has handed over the operating license for the trial run of hydrogen trains

The Saudi Transport General Authority (TGA) chairman, Rumaih Al-Rumaih, has given Saudi Arabia Railways CEO Bashar Al-Malik the operating licence to conduct a trial run of hydrogen trains in the Kingdom (SAR). The zero-carbon emissions and environmental friendliness of the hydrogen-powered train are noteworthy. This signifies a noteworthy advancement towards eco-friendly and inventive train travel as well.

Developing technicalities with manufacturers to customise the service for the Saudi Arabian climate, as well as utilising the hydrail experiences of other nations, are the main areas of attention for the present testing.

According to a statement from the authority, one of the most notable developments in rail travel is the hydrogen train, which produces the energy required to run trains carbon-free. The TGA emphasised that this accomplishment is a significant step towards solidifying Saudi Arabia's standing as a premier logistics hub and expedites the flow of commercial cargo with exceptional efficiency, hence augmenting the sustainability of railway transportation.

In addition to provide dependable and safe transportation, it also contributes to the realisation of environmental balance and national sustainability initiatives through the development of an environmentally friendly transportation network.
