PowerHaul Locomotive

GE Transportation recently introduced its new PowerHaulTM engine and locomotive.

The newly developed 16-cylinder PowerHaul engine serves as Transportation’s most technologically advanced locomotive engine to-date. The PowerHaul engine is designed to power GE’s new global diesel-electric PowerHaul Locomotive Series. This new engine, combined with other technologies from GE, is projected to reduce PowerHaul Locomotive fuel use by up to 9% compared to current operating fleet averages.

The PowerHaul engine represents Transportation’s first entry to the UK and European marketplace. UK-based Freightliner Group Ltd. placed an order for 30 PowerHaul Locomotives in Nov. 2007. The purchase represented the largest order of freight locomotives in Freightliner’s history. GE’s first PowerHaul PH37ACmi Locomotives are scheduled for delivery in Q4/2009.

Building on more than a half-century of experience in drill motor design and manufacturing, GE offers the most cost-effective, highest performing AC motors in the industry today. Over the past 10 years, we have supplied thousands of AC traction motors for land and offshore drilling rigs worldwide, as well as locomotives and mining trucks.

Our AC motors for drilling feature heavy-duty frames, form-wound stator windings and high-strength rotor assemblies. Built to produce greater torque and speed than their DC counterparts, they maintain horsepower at a broader speed range, eliminating the need for costly gearboxes and introducing greater reliability.

From sweltering desert heat to hurricane-force winds, GE’s diesel engines provide reliable stationary power in the harshest environments. Available in 8-, 12- and 16-cylinder configurations, they also offer the highest fuel efficiency and lowest life-cycle costs in their class.

A design for 20-year life and extended maintenance intervals make these engines a cost-effective power generation solution for continuous prime, peaking and black start operations. Compared to high-speed diesels, our medium-speed engines are 25% cheaper to operate per kilowatt-hour. Gensets are available in enclosed and unenclosed configurations, providing power from 1.2 to 3 MW.
