Powered by hydrogen fuel cells, the locomotive emits only water vapor. That means zero tailpipe emissions—no particulate matter, no NOx, no CO₂. A zero-emissions freight solution using today’s locomotives.

The locomotive, developed in partnership with CPKC at CSX’s Huntington Locomotive Shop, was rebuilt from an existing diesel unit—repurposing key components like the frame, cab, and traction motors. ♻️ This extends the asset’s life and slashes emissions.
