Our Projects A project partnership among Vehicle Projects Inc, BNSF Railway Company, and the US Army Corps of Engineers has developed a prototype hydrogen-fueled fuelcell-battery hybrid shunt locomotive for urban and military-base rail applications. This prototype is intended to lead to commercial locomotives, including freight, that will (1) reduce air and noise pollution in urban railyards, (2) increase energy security of the rail transport system by using hydrogen as fuel, (3) reduce atmospheric greenhouse-gas emissions, and (4) serve as a mobile backup power source (“vehicle-to-grid”) for critical infrastructure on military bases. The locomotive is presently at a BNSF railyard in the Los Angeles metro area, where it will commence its demonstration phase under working conditions. Watch a video of the hybrid locomotive >
