According to Igor Landgraf, Chief Designer of alternative power plants and chemical current sources of the Branch of Central Scientific & Research Institute of Marine Electrical Engineering and Technology (CSRI MEET), FSUE Krylov State Scientific Center, in 2 years a passenger pleasure boat with a hydrogen-fueled engine developed by Krylov Center must put out to the rivers and canals of St. Petersburg.

The Krylov Scientific Center has other developments of alternative fuel engines, such as a power plant for microbuses. The designers are proud of their joint project with Gorelectrotrans: Russia’s first hydrogen-powered streetcar. “It is based on a batch-produced streetcar. The first one run on Moskovsky Prospect,” said Igor Landgraf and complained that such streetcars are not yet widespread.
