Railway Age Virtual Conference: Next-Gen Motive Power

The railway motive power landscape is rapidly becoming a proving ground for emerging green technologies: Battery-electric. Hydrogen fuel cell. Hybrid. Biofuels. Renewable diesel. The industry is working hard to develop lower and ultimately zero-emission locomotives, and taking active steps to further reduce emissions associated with current technology. Most programs are still in the research, development and demonstration phases. Attaining “net-zero” will take time and resources.

Railway Age’s Next-Gen Motive Power virtual conference pulls together the experts for an in-depth look at current initiatives, and candid discussion on the feasibility and practicality of moving away from the industry’s standard-bearer since the mid-20th century: the diesel-electric locomotive. Transitioning from steam to diesel took more than 25 years. Moving to zero emissions will probably take much longer.

Top Reasons to Attend

• Learn from the experts in this fast-growing field.
• Get up to speed on some of the most important programs under way.
• Participate in candid discussions distinguishing “hope from hype” and “fact from fiction.”
• Explore what’s working, what isn’t, and why.
• Gain a clearer understanding of what it will take to attain “net-zero” emissions.
