TransNamib’s board has approved a six-month trial of a dual-fuel locomotive powered by hydrogen and diesel, as the rail operator tests lower-emission alternatives to its diesel fleet. The pilot, to be conducted in partnership with CMB.TECH, will run for around 50 return trips along the Walvis Bay–Windhoek corridor, a key route for Namibia’s freight movement. Chief Executive Officer Desmond van Jaarsveld said the trial will determine whether hydrogen technology can operate effectively under local conditions. The locomotive will be assessed on fuel consumption, reliability, operational efficiency, maintenance requirements and overall cost-effectiveness, with a decision on potential expansion to follow after the trial period. thebrief.com.na/2026/04/transn… #namibia #locomotives #dieselfleet #walvisbay #windhoek @transnamib @CMB_TECH @QBBT @rudolphmuller @sigstart
