CN purchases first hybrid diesel-battery electric mainline locomotive from Progress Rail for decarbonization.
CN has purchased its first hybrid diesel-battery electric mainline locomotive from Progress Rail as part of its decarbonization plans. The EMD unit will be tested to understand the potential impact and opportunity related to retrofitting a larger portion of the railroad's fleet, with the Province of British Columbia awarding CN $3.2m under the Clean BC Go Electric Commercial Vehicle Pilots Program. CN anticipates this initiative will further develop the technology, while immediately reducing emissions.
