Russia’s first passenger train powered by hydrogen fuel cells is expected to arrive on Sakhalin in the first half of 2027, as reported by the press service of the Office of Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Yury Trutnev.The new train will link Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk with several of the island’s major cities, including Korsakov, Poronaisk, Kholmsk and Nevelsk. The train is currently being assembled. Once preparations are complete, it will begin regular passenger service.The three-car train will be able to travel up to 435 kilometers on a single refueling. Instead of conventional exhaust emissions, it will produce water vapor. The train will also feature diagnostic and video surveillance systems, driver condition monitoring, low-floor boarding areas and throughways between cars to improve accessibility for passengers with reduced mobility. The train will have a capacity of more than 850 passengers.Meanwhile, infrastructure for the transportation of the future is being developed on Sakhalin. A hydrogen refueling complex at an existing Russian Railways site will provide train maintenance and hydrogen refueling services.The new trains will require specialists with new skill sets, including power engineers and hydrogen plant operators. Training is already underway through the Hydrogen Energy master’s program at the Advanced Engineering School of Sakhalin State University.
