For 100 years, EMD® has produced the most durable, reliable and sustainable locomotive products in the rail industry. We design and manufacture locomotives for all commercial rail applications, with over 65,000 EMD-powered locomotives delivered to more than 75 countries. Our technology leadership and superior performance drive our reputation for exceptional quality, service and innovation.

Progress Rail is proud to offer the EMD Joule Battery Electric Locomotive series, available as new build or repowers. EMD Joule locomotives support a wide range of railway operations with battery capacities up to 14.5 MWh. Applications include:

  • Switching/shunting yards
  • Regional service
  • In consist with diesel-electric locomotives

Joule locomotives recover energy through dynamic braking. When dynamic braking is activated to control train speed, the batteries are charged, saving what would otherwise be wasted energy. Alternatively the batteries can be charged through our range of wayside charging options tailored to meet operational needs.

Our growing family of zero exhaust emissions locomotives is just one way Progress Rail helps our customers achieve their sustainability goals.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

EMD Joule Features Benefits

INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGIES

Progress Rail’s combination of advanced rail technologies can deliver customers meaningful fuel savings, from 33% all the way to 100%.
Energy savings are critical, especially when it comes to battery-electric locomotives. That's where our technologies such as Talos™, Nitro, PowerView and others come into play and help maximize operating efficiencies. These technologies can also help save fuel and energy in hybrid applications where both diesel and batteries are used. Contact our sales team to learn which combination of solutions would be best for your application.

SUSTAINABILITY

Progress Rail, in conjunction with our parent company Caterpillar, shares the concerns of governments and the public about the risks of climate change and supports global efforts to mitigate its impact. We are committed to a reduced-carbon future, both in our operations and helping customers reach climate-related goals. Our EMD Joule helps contribute to those goals, producing zero exhaust emissions while producing the same or more horsepower and tractive effort as a diesel.
