CRRC recently unveiled a series of seven new energy locomotives in Beijing, zlong with a report on the carbon footprint of new energy locomotives. The power of these serialized new energy locomotives range from 1000 kW to 2000 kW, which can cover all scenarios of user operation conditions, CRRC said. Each power level has three power configurations of diesel engine + power battery, power battery, and hydrogen fuel cell, providing users with different options.

According to the carbon footprint data of new energy locomotives calculated based on standard operating conditions and using green electricity, each power battery locomotive reduces carbon footprint by 94.2%, which can reduce carbon emissions of 4,076 tons, equivalent to the carbon dioxide absorbed by 1 million trees and 200 hectares of forest in a year.

The carbon footprint of the diesel engine + power battery locomotive during the operation is reduced by 61.7%, which can reduce carbon emissions of 2,735 tons.
