Herzog's subsidiary, TransitAmerica Services, Inc. (TASI), is working with Stadler and Metrolink to test the ZEMU, North America's first zero-emission, self-powered passenger train. The ZEMU is a hybrid train that uses hydrogen and battery technology to power the train and its on-board electrical system. The only emission that comes from this train is water vapor, making it a 100% clean transit alternative.
