Meets EPA’s Tier 4 locomotive emissions standards
GE Transportation has completed the first production test of its GE Evolution Series Tier 4 engine.
“We are committed to delivering Evolution Series Tier 4 locomotives to our customers. We’ve already manufactured 27 engines and the completion of this test is a major step forward in our Tier 4 journey. Through the efforts of the GE team in Grove City, we’ll be able to validate the test cell and the production process and make improvements to our overall plan,” said Tina Donikowski, VP of Locomotives, Marine, and Stationary & Drill, GE.
The Evolution Series engines were designed to meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Tier 2 locomotive emission standards.
The new engine meets the EPA’s Tier 4 locomotive emissions standards, which took effect on 01 January, 2015. The company has reduced the Nitrogen Oxides and Particulate Matter emissions by at least 70 percent from Tier 3 emission standards.
