Intramotev has released new footage of its TugVolt technology operating at Carmeuse America’s calcium mine in Cedarville, Michigan – the world’s first independently driven battery-electric railcar in revenue service.
With support from the Michigan Mobility Funding Programme, Intramotev will deploy a total of three TugVolt battery electric railcars at the Cedarville site. The deployment is estimated to eliminate up to 55 000 gal. of diesel consumption and 617 t of vehicle-level CO2 emissions.
Tim Luchini, Intramotev’s CEO, comments:
“As Intramotev continues to serve customers across the country, we’re excited to share a glimpse of our technology in action. Collaborating with a world-class partner like Carmeuse Americas brings us closer to achieving our mission of decarbonising mining and steel transportation.”
Jeff Bittner, Senior VP of Operations at Carmeuse, added:
“We’re excited to partner with Intramotev to deploy their TugVolt technology. This partnership represents an incredible opportunity to increase our efficiency, decrease our carbon footprint, and keep our workers safe and focused on what they do best through adoption of emerging digital technologies. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.”
