概要

A single old diesel locomotive burns 40,000 gallons of fuel a year and puts out about 300 metric tons of CO2, the equivalent of roughly 100 transit buses. Ira Dorfman, Partner at Innovative Rail Technologies, converts 50 and 60 year old legacy locomotives into zero emission battery electric ones.
