Engineered for Rail. Powered by Innovation.
AMPS Traction and Acculon combine locomotive engineering expertise with advanced battery technology to deliver integrated battery-electric solutions built around real-world rail operations.
The Advantages of Battery-Electric Rail
Battery-electric technology offers rail operators a practical path toward reduced emissions, lower maintenance requirements, and improved operational efficiency. Through purpose built engineering and integrated battery systems, AMPS Traction and Acculon help turn these advantages into real-world solutions.
Zero Emissions
Eliminate diesel exhaust at the point of operation, improving air quality in rail yards, facilities, and surrounding communities.
Quieter Operation
Reduce operational noise compared with traditional diesel-powered equipment, benefiting crews and nearby communities.
Improved Tractive Response
Electric traction provides responsive torque delivery, particularly valuable in switching and other start-stop operations.
Reduced Maintenance
Fewer engine related maintenance requirements can simplify servicing and reduce associated downtime.
Low Energy Idle Operations
Eliminate diesel engine idling while maintaining power availability for supported onboard systems.
Operational Oversight
Our integrated data logging system provides operational and maintenance clarity.
Battery-Electric Solutions in Action
From industrial switching to scenic railways and specialized applications, AMPS Traction and Acculon are advancing battery-electric rail technology through projects engineered for distinct operational needs. AMPS Traction leads locomotive engineering and rail-system integration, while Acculon contributes battery technology and energy-storage expertise. Together, the teams develop integrated solutions tailored to the needs of each rail application.
