AHL-TECH Locomotives:

Clean by Nature, Powerful by Design 

Introducing a revolutionary change in locomotive technology. Coupling clean, natural, renewable fuels technology, with the latest in hybrid design, AHL-TECH locomotives hold promise to reduce not only diesel emissions, but greenhouse gases (GHG), and dependency on non-renewable fossil fuels.

What We Do

AHL-TECH is developing a revolutionary new generation of railroad locomotives. These hybrid design locomotives, combining internal combustion engines and battery technology, are the first of their kind to utilize a true biofuels optimized engine running on ethanol. The renewable fuels engine drives a high efficiency generator coupled to the latest power storage and electric traction control technologies. The revolutionary AHL-TECH locomotive electric generator set will use an optimized engine fueled by 95% bioethanol.
