India’s first hydrogen-powered passenger train, said to be the longest of its kind in the world, reached 120 km/h during a test run on the Jind–Sonipat route in the state of Haryana. The train consists of 10 railcars, has a capacity of up to 2,600 passengers, and still needs to complete compliance procedures before entering commercial service.

    Count me out. No way am I traveling in one of them. It’ll get worse as they get older. Embrittling takes time.

    It is effectively proven that hydrogen is safer than gasoline

    It’s like you never read my post. Holy poor use of statistics, Batman!

      The tanks are made of carbon fiber. Embrittlement isn’t a problem.

      Thousands of people die from gasoline fires every year. It is objectively the more dangerous technology.

        This is a really stupid misuse of statistics. Again. Stupid. Straight after I pointed that out to you.

        You STILL didn’t read or understand my post.

        It’s MEANINGLESS to claim that more people get injured crossing the road than going rock climbing. Think about why. If you can explain that to me then you might be worth debating.

          You are simply in denial here. Hydrogen is the safer technology going by the data.

            You failed the thinking test I set. If you can’t explain why it’s meaningless to claim that fewer people have leg injuries whilst skydiving than whilst biking, you have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER what these statistics mean and your claims are stupid.

              Your reasoning is nonsensical. Hydrogen cars have not had any dangerous fires or explosions. Gasoline cars have. Basic math suggests that hydrogen cars are safer.

                That’s a lie that you didn’t even google to check.

                Second news story, fifth news story, sixth saying hyundai and toyota paused hydrogen production after another vehicle explosion, hydrogen fueling station explosion.

                Yeah, there are plenty of articles from hydrogen fan sites claiming there are no accidents and no risk of explosions, but it’s a LIE from the hydrogen/fossil fuel industry that you swallowed whole, sorry.

                And the hydrogen vehicles are still really pretty new and not worn out. If you have a hydrogen car, don’t leave it in your garage. But don’t leave it out in the sun either. Leave it in a lock up away from your property and your children, and sell it before it’s old. If you can find an idiot prepared to buy a hydrogen car that’s getting old, that is.

                  There are hundreds of thousands of gasoline fires every year. It is statistically more dangerous to own and drive a gasoline car.

                    You just don’t get it, do you? You don’t. And I don’t know why I tried to explain it to you three times already, but safe isn’t it for hydrogen.

                    Safe and one of the most flammable substances on the planet (hydrogen) are opposite.

                    And guess what’s actually safer? Battery electric vehicles. (Not hybrids, they burn more often than regular fossil fuel vehicles.)

                    Hydrogen vehicle sales are falling. Good.
