- Introduction
In the future there will be hybrid electric-diesel locomotives. We are developing a hybrid locomotive and improving its energy management, using a system already popular in electric cars, reusing the kinetic energy generated from braking.
Another way to reduce fuel consumption in particular is the operation of an internal combustion engine in optimal mode with minimum fuel consumption, when total emissions also minimizes. Output of the project will be the functional samples of hybrid locomotive and its subsystems, including control system and accumulator system.
