Henri Poupart-Lafarge, CEO of the French company Alstom stated: “This invention which is the result of cooperation between Germany and France, has a great potential to expand fossil pollution-free transportation.
A great part of private and public transportation is using fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel at the moment and they are causing air pollution.
Most of the trains in Europe are still using diesel and Alstom Company is trying to export this technology to other European countries to lessen the effects of global warming.
