Eliminate or Reduce Idling

Railpower locomotives prevent ALL unnecessary idling• Batteries provide power to auxiliary systems• Short-term idling between pulls is also eliminated• Software does it automatically

Conventional locomotives typically idle to • provide power to the air compressor to maintain the air

brake. • provide power to the cab for heat, lights and other needs• keep the engine block warm if temperatures dip below 40

degrees• Restart rules


Typical NOx(e) Reductions

* Based on EPA Switch Duty Cycle and NOx(e) = NOx + ROG + 20* PM

Railpower Technology Advantages

90% reduction in NOx and ROG 80% reduction in PM (with Tier 3 nonroad engines)

Do not idle unnecessarily Quieter Operation Green House Gas Emission Reductions: 35% or
