Locomotives, particularly those used for long-haul freight purposes, require a fuel that provides a great deal of energy for a long period of time. Propane not only has a high energy density, but it is also clean-burning, enabling it to meet the needs of locomotive applications in a low-emissions manner.
Locomotive research investigates and assesses the technical and market feasibility of using propane engines in locomotive applications.
