Originally, there are few energy consumptions compared with other transportation system on a railway vehicle. On the other hand, we have contemplated future’s hydrogen energy society and have developed the train which makes hydrogen an energy source. There is non-electrification section in Japan about 40 %. Energy conservation is achieved to change a diesel engine car for a hydrogen train. When an exhaust gas from a vehicle disappears, it’s clean and becomes maintenance-free. In this paper, we speculate on an environmental load, a running test result and a hydrogen cylinder installed in a hydrogen train.
