Cum funcționează primul tren solar din Argentina. Circulă fără să aibă, de fapt, panouri solare pe vagoane

The solar train in Quebrada is the first of its kind in Latin America, operating on solar energy stored in lithium batteries. It connects six towns in the UNESCO-listed Quebrada de Humahuaca valley, covering 42 kilometers in the Andes. Launched in June 2024, it has attracted over 90,000 passengers, reviving rail transport after a 30-year hiatus. The train's batteries provide a range of 100 to 120 kilometers, with rapid charging stations along the route. This initiative reflects a broader trend in South America and Europe towards sustainable rail transport, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
