Trains are currently being operated on a multitude of power sources, and the list includes fossils, electricity, magnetic levitation and more. The most debated fuel source - hydrogen, however, has managed to keep away from the list. Well, not anymore it seems, as German officials have confirmed to incorporate the world's first-ever hydrogen-powered passenger train fleet. It will replace 15 diesel trains, which were previously being operated on tracks that lacked electric supply in Lower Saxony, Germany. The fleet comprises 14 trains, which use fuel cells to generate power, making it the cleanest-greenest train fleet ever.

State governor Stephan Weil said the 93-million-euro (USD 92 million) project was an 'excellent example' for Lower Saxony's efforts to make its economy greener.

The RBI also informed that, after the implementation of the tokenisation norms, the customers' credit card and debit card details - used in online, point-of-sale, and in-app transactions - will be stored as an 'encrypted' token in order to ease the transaction process. The new tokenisation guidelines were scheduled to come into effect from July 1, but the deadline was pushed to September 30.

However, according to news agency PTI report citing sources, most of the large merchants have complied with the RBI's card-on-file (CoF) tokenisation norms and 19.5 crore tokens have been issued so far.
