FLXdrive Battery Electric Locomotive
Wabtec is pioneering the application of battery technology for heavy haul locomotives,? which typically can pull a freight train loaded with five thousand tons of cargo. In 2020, the company built the FLXdrive: the world’s first 100-percent battery electric locomotive. The locomotive features an overall train energy management system, including approximately 20,000 battery cells. With up to 6,000 kWh capacity that replaces a traditional diesel engine and alternator, the FLXdrive, when used in? combination with regular diesel electric locomotives, can reduce overall train fuel usage and emissions by 10 to 30 percent when compared to a traditional consist.
Trip Optimizer?
Trip Optimizer?, an intelligent cruise control system for trains, that is EPA-certified and reduces locomotive emissions by roughly 10 percent. Trip Optimizer is installed on over 11,000 locomotives globally, saving 400 million gallons of fuel. It reduces carbon emissions by over 500,000 per year – the equivalent of removing 100,000 cars from the road.
Enhanced ABDX? Control Valve
As part of Wabtec’s continuous improvement efforts we have implemented design changes to develop the enhanced ABDX?, with more benefits than ever before. The new design incorporates redesigned main piston diaphragms, upgraded emergency portion slide valve and service portion graduating valve material with metal alloy for enhanced resistance to fretting wear when exposed to severe vibration.
Combined, these changes improve cold weather performance, offer greater resistance to severe vibration, and extend service life.
