KEY FEATURES OF THE EVOLUTION SERIES LOCOMOTIVES
Evolution Series Engine reducesmaintenance costs and helps protect the environment
Advanced air-to-air cooling system enhances performance and lowers emissions
AC individual-axle traction control enables greater hauling power along with reduced slippage on startups, grades and suboptimal track conditions
Dynamic braking technology
reduces wheel and brake shoe
wear by 20 to 40% Computer controlled architecture
improves diagnostics and simplifies operation
OPTIMIZED OUTCOMES OF THE EVOLUTION SERIES TIER 4 LOCOMOTIVE
No performance lost from Tier 3
Extended maintenance and service intervals
Over 5,000 units operating around
the world
The result?
GE TransportationA continuing legacy of innovation
The next generation of locomotives.
more than 70% reduction in emissions from Tier 3
Series Locomotive
Evolution Tier 4
GE Transportations Evolution Series Tier 4 Locomotive meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) stringent Tier 4 emission standards without use of any type of after-treatment. Part of the ecomagination-certified Evolution Series, this locomotive will decrease emissions by more than 70 percent and will save railroad customers more than $1.5 billion in urea infrastructure and operational costs. GE Transportation has invested $600 million in the Evolution Series since its introduction in 2005.
70%
GE Transportation will be ready with a locomotive that meets the Tier 4 emissions standards. The first five Evolution Series Tier 4 locomotives completed the first phase of field testing in the summer with success and will continue field testing throughout the rest of the year. The locomotive certification test and application to the EPA will be submitted for approval in time for GE Transportation to receive certification by the end of the year.
