Whale expands railway fleet with 50 VabTek Locomotives for modernization and decoration | The economy
50 Purchase of Whale VabTEC Corporation (NYSE: WAB) to buy 50 Locomotives of evolutionIt is minus railroad (eFVM) to Vitaria and The Carajos Railway (EFC). The initiative represents significant progress in the company’s flights modernization plan and strengthens its commitment to decoration, targeting greater operational efficiency and emission reduction. Locomotive Product Product Infection (MG) takes place in the Wabtec Factory and deliveries begin in 2026.
According to Whale’s Operations Vice President Carlos Mediros, the choice of these locomotives is already due to consolidation in the market, which connects the company’s stability, capacity and safety of safety. He believes that the restoration of EFVM and EFC aircraft is part of an attempt to increase decoration in the train sector.
This project provides 36 EVOBBW locomotives to include in 14 ES58aci units in EFVM and EFC. These machines are the most modern in the market and have the opportunity to work with a high ratio of biodiesel, reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. In addition, Whale and Wabtec are expected to take tests to further expand the use of this biological fuel in the future.
Technology reduces carbon emissions
The regional president and leader of VabTek Latom, Danilo Miasato, emphasized the importance of the train sector’s innovation partnership, highlighting the company’s commitment on technologies to reduce CO2 emissions and improve operational efficiency. He stressed that VabTEC is constantly investing in alternative fuels, targeting the future with zero emissions in train transport.
Evolution’s locomotives include State -Art -Art Diesel Engine Technology, which provides greater intervals between fuel economy and maintenance, which reduces costs. In addition, its AC traction engines increase the traction capacity by more than 50%. The model, which is already working on Karajas Railroad, will also be added to the Vitaria A Minus Railroad flight.
Another advantage of the locomotives of the evolution is their contribution to the decorbonization of EFVM. Compared to the FDL model, they provide a 6% reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and are ready for future transition to alternative fuels. The cabin design is designed to provide more ergonomics and comfort, as well as facilitating access to internal maintenance systems.
