PowerHaul® Engine
GE’s PowerHaul® Engine is a lightweight, high horsepower, fuel-efficient diesel engine that has been designed to meet European Union Stage IIIa emission standards. The engine is scheduled to launch in the European rail market in 2009 as part of a new locomotive offered by GE Transportation.
Environmental Benefit
GE’s PowerHaul engine is being designed to meet the European Union Stage IIIa emissions standards which are at least 20 percent more stringent in NOx and PM than the UIC Stage II standard.
Operating Benefit
When the PowerHaul Engine enters production in 2009, each PowerHaul engine leaving GE’s factory will have specific fuel consumption below 200 grams per kW-hr.
The environmental challenge
With the new emissions directive set forth by the European Union, GE customers sought a more fuel-efficient locomotive engine that met the upcoming standards.
GE’s innovative solution
By meeting the EU's IIIa emissions standards and providing lower fuel consumption than the currently installed base in the market, PowerHaul represents an important part of GE's vision toward the future of cleaner, more efficient railroad technologies.
Environmental impact
GE’s PowerHaul® Engine will use significantly less fuel than locomotives in use today.
Cutting costs
GE’s PowerHaul® Engine will provide a savings benefit for customers by using significantly less fuel.
