Progress Rail heard very clearly from our railroad customers that reliability and efficiency drive total cost of ownership. With that we engineered the SD70ACe-T4 locomotive to reduce NOx by an additional 80 percent and particulates by 70 percent—while delivering world-class fuel efficiency—and the leading reliability, maintainability and safety the railroads expect from EMD^® locomotives.

Our new Tier 4 locomotive provides a solution specifically tailored to North American railroad operations, meeting stringent emissions regulations without the use of urea and providing substantial savings for railroad applications.

In fact, our Tier 4 locomotive is the result of the combined expertise and resources of the Progress Rail and Caterpillar engineering teams and state-of-the-art design and validation tools and facilities —all driven by the mission to achieve life cycle cost optimization for the railroads.
