Brett BeGole, General Manager of Locomotive Business Operations at GE Transportation Systems Group, told reporters in Beijing recently.
In October 2005, GE Transportation Systems and the Ministry of Railways signed a contract to jointly provide 300 locomotives for the Chinese main line with China South Locomotive Qishuyan Locomotive Co., Ltd.
Harmony type N5 high-power AC drive diesel locomotive is the largest domestic diesel locomotive at present. There are now 97 locomotives that will gradually undertake the cargo mission from the Qiqihar to Manchuria railway line this year, and will be expanded to take charge of the Harbin Railway Bureau. The use of multiple lines.
The maximum power of this diesel locomotive exceeds 6,000 horsepower. Actual use by the Harbin Railway Bureau shows that the traction capacity of a harmonious N5 high-power AC drive diesel locomotive is equivalent to the number of freight trains of the past two to three traditional diesel locomotives. As for the demand for “multiple pulls and less emissions†on China’s freight railways, it currently provides guarantees for the transportation of key materials such as grain and coal.
GE is the world leader in the diesel locomotive market. Its market share of high-power products is almost double that of its competitor EMD.
On September 17th, GE Transportation Systems Group announced the comparison of the fuel test between the GEEvolution ES44AC locomotive and the EMD D70ACe locomotive that meets the Level 2 emission standard. According to independent research and testing, GE locomotives have fuel efficiency higher than 6% above that of EMD's similar locomotives.
“We have spent eight years of research and development and invested US$400 million to develop the most advanced, energy-efficient, and highest-capacity internal-combustion electric locomotives in the world today,†said Mr. Rodriguez, President and CEO of GE Transportation Systems.
“High fuel efficiency gives our global railway customers a real competitive advantage because they can reduce operating costs and minimize the global footprint of carbon.â€
This test result further strengthens GE Transportation Systems Group's leading position as a global advanced technology and high fuel efficiency rail transportation solution provider.
The GE Transportation Systems Group has delivered more than 3,200 Evolution Series locomotives to its railroad customers worldwide, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, China, Australia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and Egypt.
Mr. Brett BeGole did not forget that GE only transferred the manufacturing technology of this locomotive to China. This locomotive is China's largest domestic diesel locomotive, the Harmony N5 high-power AC drive diesel locomotive.
