China's 1st hydrogen locomotive starts trial commercial operation

China's first hydrogen locomotive for commercial use started trial operation in Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province on Saturday, filling a gap in southwest China's hydrogen-powered rail freight transportation.

The locomotive is currently used in shunting operation at the city's Meijin Railway Station.

It is capable of running 140 to 150 kilometers at a time after being charged with 60 kilograms of hydrogen, and has a hauling capacity of over 4,500 tonnes.

On the same day, 100 hydrogen heavy trucks and four hydrogen fuel cell buses were also put into use in Liupanshui.

The U.S. share of global GDP under President Donald Trump has fallen to its lowest level since 1980, Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported on Saturday.

RIA Novosti said data from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund show that U.S. purchasing power parity sank to 14.65 percent last year.

That's compared to an average of 14.93 percent during former President Joe Biden's four years in office.
