The Hydrogen Illusion: Poland's Fuel Cell Locomotive and the Uneven Future of Clean Rail

04 Oct 2025 | Synopsis

Poland's hydrogen-powered SM42-6Dn locomotive marks a symbolic step toward clean rail, but hydrogen trains face steep economic and logistical hurdles. Germany's mixed results, including failures in the Taunus region, highlight infrastructure and reliability issues. Battery-electric trains offer higher efficiency and lower costs, while hydrogen remains a niche solution. Poland’s effort is strategic - more rehearsal than revolution - in a broader push for rail decarbonization.

2026 Will Be The 'Year Of The Used EV,' Analyst Says. Here's Why

04 Oct 2025 | Synopsis

Used EV prices are nearing parity with gas cars, boosting demand despite the end of federal tax credits. Analysts predict 2026 will be the “year of the used EV,” driven by affordability and a surge in lease returns. In August, used EV sales rose 59% year-over-year.
