<p>[quote user="Trainzguy2472"]</p> <p>Here is a link to a powerpoint that I made for a summer camp about clean transportation methods.</p> <p><a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vY4MREv7zdU4l9NA4PDN6zNuJzISbUeU">https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vY4MREv7zdU4l9NA4PDN6zNuJzISbUeU</a></p> <p>It's a little unprofessional, but if any of you are really interested, I can post my research charts, too.</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>The first two Alstom Coradia iLint are in revenue service in the German state of Lower-Saxony since September 17, 2018.</p> <p>You made an interesting presentation!</p> <p>I don't know what the price of $6.4 million for a Hydrogen Fuel Cell unit is based on. If it is the Alstom Coradia iLint I think it is too low. The 14 units for Lower-Saxony cost about 90 million Euro, 6.4 Euro per unit or $7.5 million.</p> <p>The costs for an electric locomotive with $6.0 million seems too high to me.</p> <p>The Siemens ACS-64 multi-system locomotive with only 70+ locomotives cost about $6.7 million a piece, a Siemens Vectron (the base for the ACS-64) as multi-system about 4 million Euro ($4.7 million). If the number of locomotives gets high enough the price will be around $5 million, especially if no multi-system capability is needed.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
