Stadler’s hydrogen-powered train achieves the Guinness World Record title by traveling more than 1,700 miles on one tank of hydrogen.
Stadler has set the Guinness World Record title for the furthest distance achieved by a hydrogen-powered passenger train, the FLIRT H2, without refueling, traveling a total of 2,803 kilometers (1741.7 miles) for over 46 hours on one fuel supply.
