For more than 90 years, we have produced the most durable, reliable and sustainable locomotive products and services in the rail industry. We design, manufacture and sell diesel-electric locomotives for all commercial railroad applications, with 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.

The SD70ACe Locomotive was introduced in 2005 for heavy-haul freight applications worldwide. This powerful and efficient locomotive integrates the highly reliable 16-cylinder 710 engine, EM2000 microprocessor control system and AC traction.

The advanced technologies of the SD70ACe provide key product solutions for safety, reliability, efficiency and sustainability, while delivering life-cycle cost optimization. This service-proven workhorse demonstrates leading performance for operating in harsh conditions and in the world’s most demanding applications.

Thousands of SD70ACe locomotives operate in heavy-haul service across the globe, including North America, South America, the Middle East, Africa and Australia. Built on this expertise and utilizing the extensive engineering resources of the Progress Rail and Caterpillar teams in the U.S. and Russia, the SD70ACe/LW Locomotive is designed specifically to meet the latest Russian Custom Union Technical Regulations and operating environment.
