Quote:
Erie, Pa.-based GE Transportation Friday unveiled its next Evolution Series locomotive that the company says "will decrease constituent emissions by more than 70% and save railroad customers more than $1.5 billion in infrastructure and operational costs."
The company anticipates that the new locomotive "will be the first in the industry to meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) stringent Tier 4 emission standards, which call for the single-largest emission reduction in the tiered program's timeline. The new locomotive will meet this standard with technological advancements versus costly alternatives, which require special exhaust additives and infrastructure investments." EPA's Tier 4 standards take effect in 2015.
