Innovative Rail Technologies (IRT) provides zero-emission lithium-ion battery-electric locomotives, delivering better performance than diesel counterparts. Their locomotives offer greater tractive effort, improved reliability, and lower operating costs. IRT's technology includes one-hour fast charging, all-weather operation, a 12-year battery life, and a range of up to 200 miles. Their locomotives are field-tested, commercially deployed, and have a proven track record. IRT's solutions enable operators to achieve corporate carbon-reduction goals while enhancing productivity and cost savings.
The electric train, funded partially by the Pennsylvania Department of Environment Protection and built by Innovative Rail Technologies, was converted from a used diesel model built in the 1960s.
