Medha, a global leader in electric propulsion and rollingstock space, is proud to have played a pivotal role in Midwest Terminals’ transition to sustainable rail operations. Medha’s cutting-edge technology has enabled the conversion of a diesel-electric locomotive into a fully electric switcher.
This milestone achievement was celebrated on November 3rd with a visit from the 13abc news team, who highlighted the environmental benefits and operational advantages of the battery-electric locomotive.
By replacing the traditional diesel engine with a battery-electric powertrain, Medha has significantly reduced Midwest Terminal’s carbon footprint, noise pollution, and operating costs. The battery electric locomotive offers several key benefits:
- Zero Emissions: Eliminates harmful emissions, contributing to a cleaner environment.
- Improved Efficiency: Delivers superior performance with quicker acceleration and deceleration, optimizing operations.
- Reduced Noise Pollution: Operates silently, minimizing noise disturbance in surrounding areas.
Medha’s collaboration with Midwest Terminals demonstrates the company’s commitment to sustainable and innovative rail solutions.
