The hydrogen train in India is scheduled to include eight bogies in its first prototype. Passengers will travel comfortably and effectively because of these compartments' excellent design. The initial design demonstrated the potential of hydrogen-powered trains, but further iterations might improve in terms of speed, capacity, and extra features.

Comparing Hydrogen trains to conventional diesel locomotives, there are many environmental advantages. In contrast to their rivals, hydrogen trains release damaging pollutants like carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, or particulates. Hydrogen is essential for the environment which helps in reducing air pollution, reducing climate change, and improving the overall quality of the environment since they do away with these dangerous pollutants.
