Analyse des lacunes réglementaires et analyse de l'environnement : locomotives à hydrogène et à batterie

The use of hydrogen and batteries in Canadian rail operations is expected to continue to expand rapidly in the coming years, and TC Rail Safety (RS) is working to ensure that these new technologies are implemented safely.

To accomplish these objectives the contractor will undertake a risk identification exercise, a regulatory gap analysis, and a survey of oversight practices for hydrogen operations in other jurisdictions. Recommendations are required as to: safety practices that exist to mitigate known hydrogen fuel cell and battery propulsion rail risks; and existing codes, standards and/or regulatory measures that are capable of filling the regulatory gaps identified.
