The record attempt took place over 46 hours at a test track in Colorado where Stadler’s hydrogen-powered train is being tested.A hydrogen-powered train built by Swiss company Stadler has set a new Guinness World Record after it traveled nonstop for 1,741 miles . The feat was achieved using a pilot hydrogen-powered passenger train car at a dedicated test ring in Colorado in the US.

The electricity is then sent to a traction converter and stored in a battery, which supplies it to the electric drive to move the train. The setup also allows energy to be recovered from the train’s braking system, thereby increasing the system’s efficiency. The attempt began on the evening of March 20, and GWR officials were present at the test site. Engineers from Stadler drove the train in shifts over the night and the following day. When the train stopped at 5:23 pm on March 22, it had traveled 1,741.7 miles over 46 hours, all on a single fuel tank.
