Germany is expected to introduce the world's first zero-emission passenger train to supply hydrogen.
Coradia iLint only emits excess steam in the atmosphere and offers an alternative to the country's 4,000 diesel trains.
Lower Saxony has already ordered 14 of them from the French company Alstom, and others are likely to be seen across the country if they are deemed a success, reports Die Welt.
The tests must be carried out before the end of the year, before opening to the public in December 2017.
The train was first presented at InnoTrans in Berlin in August and will be the first hydrogen-powered train to transport people over long distances.
The iLint is powered by huge lithium-ion batteries, and they get their energy from a hydrogen tank on the roof of the train.
Hydrail can travel nearly 500 miles per day at speeds up to 87 mph, and the only sound it emits comes from wheels and air resistance.
"Alstom is proud to launch an innovative innovation in the field of clean transport," said Henri Poupart-Lafarge, CEO of Alstom, in a statement.
"This shows our ability to work closely with our customers and develop a train in just two years."
The power of hydrogen works when hydrogen is burned with oxygen to produce enormous amounts of energy, the only by-product being water.
