Freightliner secures government funding for dual-fuel project [Freightliner]
Date: 02/07/2021
Freightliner, a subsidiary of Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (G&W), in partnership with a consortium of specialist suppliers, has been successful in securing government funding to develop a dual-fuel solution for the Class 66 locomotive.
The project will investigate the ability to substitute diesel with both hydrogen and biogas on the Class-66 locomotive which hauls over 80% of freight on the UK rail network and, in doing so, reduce carbon emissions on one of the industry^s most challenging two-stroke locomotives. This will be achieved by retrofitting the Class 66 with Clean Air Powers precision injection technology, creating a Class 66 that can run on a combination of diesel, biogas and hydrogen.
