After years of research and development, General Electric introduced its Evolution™ series locomotives in 2005, the most echnologically advanced, fuel-effcient, and environmentally compatible diesel locomotives in history. several years later, they developed a hybrid version–the Es44AC Evolution Hybrid–a one-of-a-kind prototype that General Electric’s “Ecomagination” team is using for critical testing and analysis to improve the operation and energy-effciency of the Evolution series. How does it work? General Electric’s Evolution Hybrid captures the energy dissipated during braking and stores it in a series of sophisticated batteries visible on the side of the locomotive. that battery-stored energy then provides an additional 2,000 horsepower to the locomotive, thus increasing engine power while reducing fuel consumption and environmental impact. GE and GE EVO are registered trademarks of GE Features Spectacular Lighting Features!
