Notes:

No possibility at this time to estimate train cost, including fuel cell system cost and yearly operation costs targets.

1.Durability of the fuel cell system subject to EoL criterion output voltage at maximum power

2. Hydrogen consumption for 100 km driven under operations using exclusively hydrogen feed

3. Percent amount of time that the train is able to operate versus the overall time that it is intended to operate

*for cost aspects, when relevant, the European SoA is indicated and labelled with an asterisk
