Recently, China's first high-power hydrogen energy-powered shunting locomotive, jointly developed by CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co., Ltd. and China Energy Group, completed a 10,000-ton loading test for the first time at the Sidaoliu Station of the Xinshuo Railway Bazhun Line. It uses hydrogen as energy for towing 105 C80 vehicles for 2 kilometers at a constant speed. This marks a key breakthrough in the market-oriented application of high-power hydrogen energy power equipment for China's heavy-haul railways.

The hydrogen energy-powered shunting locomotive is energy-saving, efficient, green and low-carbon. It is an innovative achievement of CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Company to develop new productivity. The locomotive is powered by "hydrogen fuel cell + lithium power battery", with a design speed of 100 kilometers per hour, a maximum power of 2,400 kilowatts, a maximum starting traction of 560 kN, and a load capacity of 10,000 tons on straight line and a load of 5,000 tons on a 4‰ slope.

With the successful test of the locomotive traction and equipment assembly, the second phase of the test for China's first high-power hydrogen energy-powered shunting locomotive has been completed. This is a milestone in process of implementing "double carbon target" and green production of equipment for China's heavy-haul railways.
