Locomotives

Right now, around the world, locomotives designed and built by GE are on the move, transporting products and people. At any one time, thousands of our locomotives are operating in more than 60 countries, from Australia to Zaire.

We built our first diesel-electric locomotives more than 80 years ago, In the years since, our locomotives have grown steadily in power and performance. We build new, remanufacture and modernize locomotives for purchase and lease, introducing unprecedented levels of customer productivity in both mainline and shortline service.

Modernization

It's more than an upgrade. It's an extreme makeover for older locomotives.

Evolution® Series Locomotive

The Evolution locomotive is the most technologically advanced, fuel-efficient and environmentally compatible diesel locomotive in history.

Hybrid Locomotive

Our engineers are designing a hybrid diesel-electric locomotive that will capture the energy dissipated during braking and store it in batteries.

GE AC4400 Locomotive

Since its introduction more than a decade ago, GE's AC4400 locomotive has been proving its reliability and productivity in heavy-haul freight applications.

Dash 9 Locomotive

The GE DASH 9 DC propulsion locomotive continues to be a popular choice for a number of rail customers, offering asset utilization and life cycle cost advantages over older models.

Earlier Locomotive Models

The design and operation of today's Evolution Series and AC4400 locomotives reflect GE's expertise gained through the development of earlier product lines.

Fuel Savings Solutions

More than 8,000 fuel savings solutions are installed on locomotives from GE and EMD* used in switcher and road service around the world.

On-Board Systems

Today's locomotives are far more than brute stength. There's a higher intelligence at work in GE's onboard systems.
