15 сент 2022 г. - (GERMANY) Captrain subsidiary Dortmunder Eisenbahn begins Heion “clean diesel” pilot project

Описание:

In the pilot project, which according to Heion is the first-of-its-kind worldwide, several thousand liters of clean diesel will be used over several weeks in a real drive test on a highly frequented route in the Ruhr area in Germany. The consumption will be compared with that of conventional diesel.

Heion noted that thanks to its improved technology, the new fuel burns more efficiently and significantly reduces diesel consumption as well as CO2 and nitrogen oxide emissions. A CO2 saving of 6.5% has already been proven on the road.

“Even though rail is already the most environmentally friendly mode of transport, we want to further improve our ecological sustainability. The possibility of consumption and thus the CO2 reducing emissions is also interesting from an economic point of view for us and, given the current political situation, a major concern,” said Jan Läzer, managing director of Dortmunder Eisenbahn.
