![]() Credit: Intramotev Self-propelled electric railcars can reduce diesel emissionsĪccording to news from Intramotev this morning, young coal mining company Iron Senergy has signed an agreement to receive and operate three ReVolt battery-electric railcars across its 17-mile private line used to transport coal in Western Pennsylvania. ![]() ![]() The company has also developed a ReVolt railcar that can be positioned to stay within the train’s consist and capture energy using regenerative braking to reduce diesel consumption from the line’s locomotive.įresh off news of a $200,000 grant from Michigan’s Office of Future Mobility and Electrification (OFME), Intramotev continues to develop its TugVolt kit and will now put three ReVolt railcars into operation to support… coal mining? While the overall process is and will remain very carbon heavy, cleantech is now helping reduce emissions wherever possible. In a few short years, the company has been able to develop unique mobility solutions that utilize software and battery-electric propulsion technology, including the TugVolt battery electric railcar, which can decouple from the consist (the group of railcars as a whole) and operate independently for first and last mile legs. Louis-based company founded in 2020 that develops autonomous, zero-emission rail solutions that decrease costs and promote environmental responsibility across a relatively archaic segment in freight. Pennsylvanian coal mining company Iron Senergy has purchased three of Intramotev’s ReVolt battery electric railcars to reduce emissions on its railways. ![]() Zero-emissions freight mobility solutions developer Intramotev is helping clean up an industry its technology could one day replace altogether. ![]()
