Allegheny1600 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Union Pacific is to spend over $100 million on twenty battery electric locomotives. https://www.freightwaves.com/news/union-pacific-spending-over-100m-on-20-battery-electric-locomotives?utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=FW_Daily_1_31_22&utm_term=Read+the+full+story&utm_id=101104&sfmc_id=70698140 Β In summary, UP will split this order, the largest spend on this technology, between Wabtec and Progress Rail. The approx. 2.5Mwh locomotives will be delivered between late 2023 and 2024 and will be utilised in rail yards in California and Nebraska. Β Other rail companies are also looking at battery electric and also hydrogen powered locomotives - interesting times ahead. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
