Both companies will test a climate-friendly complete system consisting of the hydrogen train and its specially developed infrastructure.
By working together, Siemens Energy and Siemens Mobility will be able to offer a complete hydrogen solution to customers, subsequently supporting the decarbonisation of the European rail industry.
A report on the tests of Alstom's Coradia iLint trains has found that the hydrogen train is a fully viable alternative to diesel equipment.
Following the announcement about Tees Valley, TfN has highlighted that hydrogen power and electrification are key components of future plans for rail in the North.
The hydrogen-powered HydroFLEX train, developed by the University of Birmingham and Porterbrook, will help to decarbonise rail transportation.
The hydrogen train will operate along two routes for a 10-week testing period to gain a range of experience with the alternative technology.
The £400,000 grant will see the University of Birmingham and Porterbrook develop the detailed final production design and testing of the HydroFLEX hydrogen train.
Alstom and Snam's agreement will work to develop hydrogen-powered trains and the related technological infrastructure for operation in Italy.
Two pre-series Alstom Coradia iLint model trains have successfully completed trial passenger services, after 530 days and more than 180,000 driven kilometres.
Following 10 days of testing, Alstom has announced the successful completion of Coradia iLint hydrogen fuel cell train tests in the Netherlands.
