Hydrogen Fuel Cells as Motive Power for Industrial Switchers 5 Industrial Switching Locomotion Hydrogen Fuel Cells as Motive Power for Industrial Switchers 6 Why Consider Industrial Switching Locomotives for HFC Powering? • Respond to national GHG reduction goals, plus promotion of electrification of transport; ! • Avoid CAC emissions in constrained areas: – Such as Industrial Terminals in sensitive urban areas, – Movements involving significant diesel engine idling, – Near food processing and similar health sensitive sites, – Permitting access to unventilated warehouses, tunnels, – Assembling commuter trains in electrified coach-yards. ! • Simple platform to facilitate HFC retrofit.
