Alstom, Bombardier, Siemens, and Stadler have reacted and recently an- nounced Battery Electric and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (BEVs and FCEVs). In this paper we analyzed to which extent these new vehicles can replace diesel tech- nology on a large variation of regional railway lines. Our approach is based on two databases that we build: One for the announced emission-free vehicles, and one for existing lines, taking the German state of Bavaria as an example. We compare the lines and vehicles in terms of range, axle load, velocity, and spe- cific power. The study reveals that 72 out of the 73 lines can be operated with an emission-free vehicle. The main driver for BEVs is their range and maximum velocity. Depending on these characteristics, they can operate between 53% and 82% of all lines.
