  • Battery-Electric Long Range Line Haul Locomotive, Recharging Infrastructure and Method of Operation
    Publication number: 20220402528
    Abstract: Long range, zero emission, battery-electric line haul locomotive, off-grid renewable energy recharging infrastructure and method of operation are presented. Proposed battery-electric locomotive (Neon Zero) designed to exceed performance and operational capabilities of current state-of-the-art diesel-electric interstate line-haul locomotives, such as Wabtec (former GE) Evolution ET44AC series (USA), and EMD SD70ACe-T4 series from Electro-Motive Diesel (USA). Competitively priced with Tier 4+ diesel-electric locomotives, with affordable off-grid renewable energy recharging infrastructure, absolute zero emission, improved productivity, and huge savings on fuel cost (5+ times), maintenance (2+ times), and cabin crew expenses (up to 2 times) make proposed Neon Zero locomotive natural choice for replacement of diesel-electric locomotives worldwide, and particularly in North America railroad freight service.
