GE introduced with its partner, TÜLOMSAŞ at Innotrans 2012 in Berlin, the first GE PowerHaul Locomotive to be manufactured in Turkey. GE’s strategic relationship with TÜLOMSAŞ, a regional leader in locomotives manufacturing and maintenance, is for producing locomotives under GE license for the European, Middle East and North African markets. GE is providing leading technology and components while TÜLOMSAŞ provides manufacturing and assembly in Turkey for PowerHaul, GE’s most technologically advanced, fuel efficient and low emissions diesel electric freight locomotive to date.

GE unveiled its PowerHaul Series PH37ACai Locomotive at InnoTrans 2012 in Berlin. Hosted every two years, InnoTrans is the world’s largest rail exhibition and attracts more than 100,000 attendees and approximately 2,500 exhibitors worldwide. The PH37ACai model is featured at Track G4/10, where attendees can tour and learn more about how GE Transportation’s leading technology and innovative rail and signaling solutions address the world’s toughest rail challenges.

The PowerHaul PH37ACai is continental Europe’s newest cross-border locomotive and is GE Transportation’s most technologically advanced, fuel-efficient and low-emissions diesel-electric locomotive to date. It meets the latest TSI standards and the demanding interoperability requirements for Europe and other regions that adopt such standards.

The GE Transportation team is having a great time at InnoTrans 2012! We enjoyed meeting many of you in our stand today, but if you couldn’t make it, here are a few moments you might have missed!
