CRRC unveiled a sequence of latest vitality locomotives for the primary time globally in Beijing. A report on the carbon footprint of latest vitality locomotives was launched, and the Initiative on Carbon Footprint of Rail Transit Gear was proposed.

7 varieties of real-locomotive representatives made their debut on the launch convention. New vitality locomotives can obtain low-carbon and nil carbon emissions, low-noise, and high-efficient operation, successfully fixing the issues of “excessive gas consumption, excessive emissions, excessive noise, and poor driving expertise” in previous diesel locomotives. The facility of those serialized new vitality locomotives vary from 1000 kW to 2000 kW, which may cowl all situations of person operation circumstances, and every energy degree has three energy configurations of “diesel engine + energy battery”, “energy battery”, and “hydrogen gas cell”, offering customers with completely different choices.

In response to the carbon footprint information of latest vitality locomotives calculated primarily based on commonplace working circumstances and utilizing inexperienced electrical energy, every “energy battery” locomotive reduces carbon footprint by 94.2%, which may scale back carbon emissions of 4,076 tons, equal to the carbon dioxide absorbed by 1 million bushes and 200 hectares of forest in a yr. The carbon footprint of the “diesel engine + energy battery” locomotive in the course of the operation is lowered by 61.7%, which may scale back carbon emissions of two,735 tons, equal to a carbon dioxide discount of 54.7 million kilometers by bicycle, almost 1,367 loops across the Earth’s equator.

The event of latest vitality locomotives has promoted the in-depth utility of inexperienced and low-carbon applied sciences within the transportation subject, conforming to the worldwide idea of inexperienced environmental safety and sustainable growth. It has a optimistic significance in accelerating the transformation of previous diesel locomotives into new vitality and driving the updating, iteration, and upgrading of current rail transit tools. With the rising world consideration to environmental points, new vitality locomotives, as a low-emission and low-noise technique of transportation, can be increasingly more favored by international locations all over the world.

CRRC’s serialized new vitality locomotives unveiled for the primary time are destined to change into a brand new milestone within the growth of the worldwide rail transit business. These serialized new vitality locomotives originate from China and likewise belong to the world. Sooner or later, they are going to successfully broaden and deepen sensible cooperation in new fields, and have a profound affect on the business.
