#JWPBlog – Hydrogen-powered shunting operations in Żmigród – Bydgoszcz Pesa’s SM42-6Dn
… or a few words about SM42-6Dn – the first hydrogen-powered shunting locomotive. In June this year, the certification process for the first Polish shunting locomotive powered by hydrogen cells was completed. Bydgoszcz Pesa’s SM42-6Dn is a four-axis Bo-Bo shunting locomotive in which hydrogen cells with a total power of 170kW power four 180kW asynchronous traction motors, allowing the locomotive to reach a speed of up to 90 km/h. The product of a zero-emission hydrogen-powered railway pilot project, implemented by Pesa in Bydgoszcz since 2019, will soon be put into service.
