Environmentally Friendly Step in France with Battery Powered Shunting Locomotive

French railway giant SNCF, the first to the Technicentre Est Européen in Paris  battery powered shunting locomotive By delivering SNCF, the company has taken an important step towards environmental sustainability in the rail industry. This innovative locomotive sheds light on the future of railway vehicles powered by environmentally friendly technologies, in line with SNCF’s decarbonisation targets.

Environmental Goals of Technicentre Est Européen and SNCF

Technicentre Est Europe, France's largest TGV maintenance and repair center stands out as. The center, which provides service to more than 100 TGV, ICE and other high-speed train models, 800 experts SNCF aims to achieve its environmental targets by constantly renewing the equipment and technologies used in this centre.

SNCF's Environmental Approach

  • Decarbonization Targets: SNCF aims to reduce carbon emissions to make rail transport more sustainable.
  • Environmentally Friendly Technologies: New generation battery-powered locomotives are among the solutions that minimize carbon emissions.

Delivery and Planning of Shunting Battery Locomotives

SNCF has signed an agreement with Express Service to use a total of 15 shunting battery locomotives will supply. These locomotives, hybrid systems that can operate in battery and diesel modes has.

Delivery Details

  • The first locomotive was delivered to the Technicentre Est Européen in Paris.
  • The second locomotive is scheduled to be delivered to Lyon in March.
  • Deliveries will be made in stages to different warehouses in France.

The deployment of these locomotives will help SNCF achieve its environmental and operational objectives on a larger scale.

Advantages of Shunting Battery Locomotives

New generation shunting locomotives, environmental sustainability, operational efficiency ve flexibility These locomotives attract attention with their advantages such as shunting tasks in railway stations and industrial environments is designed for.

Highlights

  1. Low Emission: It keeps carbon emissions to a minimum with its battery-supported operating mode.
  2. Flexibility: The ability to operate on both battery and diesel adapts to different operational conditions.
  3. Environmental Compliance: It is a preferred option in global markets thanks to its design that complies with international environmental standards.

These features enable SNCF to both meet its environmental targets and meet its operational needs.

SNCF and Express Service Collaboration

SNCF, Express Service With this collaboration, Express Service aims to both increase its operational efficiency and support its environmental goals. As a company specialized in railway locomotive production, Express Service offers innovative solutions that meet industrial and environmental demands.

The Role of Express Service

  • Modern locomotive design and production.
  • Development of hybrid technology locomotives that comply with environmental standards.
  • An innovation-driven approach with a leading position in the global market.

This collaboration represents concrete steps towards SNCF's decarbonisation goal.

Decarbonization of the French Rail Industry

SNCF emphasises that decarbonisation is not just a vision, but a concrete goal. The commissioning of new shunting battery locomotives clearly demonstrates their commitment to sustainable rail transport.

SNCF's Environmentally Friendly Commitments

  • Sustainable Operations: Reducing emissions across the entire rail network.
  • Investing in Green Technologies: Innovative solutions based on electric and hybrid systems.
  • Cleaner Transportation for Society: Providing environmentally friendly transportation services.

An Innovative Future

SNCF delivery of shunting battery locomotives, is a milestone for the French rail industry. This development will not only increase operational efficiency, but will also set an important example in terms of environmental sustainability. SNCF once again demonstrates its commitment to shaping the future of rail transport with environmentally friendly technologies.
