IRT: A win for Productivity and Cost Savings …with added Health and Environmental benefits
IRT: A win for Productivity and Cost Savings …with added Health and Environmental benefits
Until now, locomotive operators had to choose between technology that offered a cost-effective solution or technology that met corporate carbon-reduction goals. IRT's advanced technology lithium-ion adaptive system provides an opportunity to achieve both – zero-emission locomotives that are less expensive to operate, deliver superior performance, and contribute significantly to corporate carbon reduction goals.

Accelerating the Transition to a Healthier Future
IRT: Proven, Deployed, and Beneficial
Our propulsion system is not a science experiment. In fact, it has already been successfully deployed in one of America’s major industrial centers. Now, Fortune 500 companies, Ports, Shortline Railroads, and Commuter Rail can begin the transition and start providing impactful reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, as well as substantial health benefits to nearby communities by mitigating NOx, particulate matter, and noise emissions.

Moving Beyond Diesel
IRT Advances Decarbonization with The Next Generation in Locomotive Propulsion
IRT has developed an advanced, battery-electric propulsion system offering scalable Lithium-ion battery and charging infrastructure. Compared to current Tier 4 diesel switchers, IRT repowers are easier to operate and maintain, offer a lower cost of ownership, and zero-emissions — at a competitive price point.
Innovative Rail Technologies
Economically Sustainable Rail Solutions that are Safe, Intelligent, and Reliable.
Traditionally, organizations build a product in search of an application, which often leads to a value mismatch. IRT solves this problem by providing application specific solutions with a holistic approach to implementation and deployment, project management, and post deployment support.
