Описание:

Operail launches its first LNG freight locomotive for testing. Before the locomotive is put into full service in autumn 2021, it will go through a period of testing and certification. “The locomotive took five months to build. We reconstructed the diesel fuel tank of the American General Electric C36 locomotive and added LNG tanks. Other necessary systems and contemporary security equipment were also installed on the locomotive to guarantee maximum safety. The locomotive now uses two kinds of fuel, which means that it can be powered by diesel as well as LNG – it will help us reduce our fuel costs by 30 per cent, and the machine emits 20 per cent less carbon dioxide and as much as 70 per cent less sulphur oxide into the air.
