Hydrogen Mireo Plus H units will start operating by DB RegioNetz at the end of 2026.
DB Cargo plans to deploy at least 100 of these locomotives, targeting a reduction in fuel consumption by 1 million liters of diesel annually, alongside a 30% improvement in energy efficiency.
The project will develop scalable interface solutions and data collection systems to improve process control and sustainability along the value chain.
The project is scheduled to start in 2025 and be operational by mid-2027. It is part of a wider effort to expand rail freight capacity and support sustainable logistics at the port.
The two companies have entered into a collaboration to design and develop a Battery Electric Locomotive (BEL) intended for heavy haul rail applications.
- says Eyal Trichter, CEO of Trilogical Technologies in an exclusive interview for Railmarket News.
In 2024, Girteka aims to increase the volume of goods transported by rail, covering the main European markets, by offering an expanded service.
Europe lags behind Asia in decarbonising regional transport
The steel will be used in Traxx Shunter locomotive platform.
This modular approach of Modula ensures that the platform can adapt to evolving market requirements and new technologies in the future.
Equipped with three drive modes—overhead line power via pantograph, battery, and diesel generator—the locomotive aims to increase operational flexibility and reduce diesel consumption.
This testing took place on September 4-5, with the bulk train traveling from Sparwood to Golden in Canadian Bristish Columbia.
The Sektorbeirat consists of 23 members representing a broad spectrum of the railway industry, including rail companies, associations, and public transport authorities. It provides guidance to DB InfraGO AG in its restructuring process and aims to ensure greater transparency and professional exchange within the sector.
The initiative, which enabled around 20 freight trains per day through Alsace, underscores the importance of developing the Belgium-Metz-Strasbourg-Basel axis.
The center will maintain GBRf's Class 73, 69, and 66 fleets, improving operational efficiency and reducing carbon emissions.
The fleet replacement forms part of Grand Central’s broader application to the UK rail regulator, which, if approved, would secure its services until 2038.
Further details regarding the procurement process and timeline are expected to be released when the official contract notice is issued in the coming weeks.
This service claims to reduce emissions by up to 90% compared to traditional diesel-powered rail transport.
Testing has commenced on the UK’s first intercity battery-powered train, a significant step towards reducing emissions on the national rail network.
The RS ZERO stands out with its dual power options, offering both hydrogen and battery-driven propulsion systems designed for emission-free operations on non-electrified rail lines.
