Green Energy Blue Locomotive

Harness the power of green energy

Just one locomotive can haul a tonne of goods more than 210 kilometres on a single litre of fuel, effectively replacing almost 300 trucks from congested roadways. In Canada alone, railways move 70% of all intercity freight while producing just 3.5% of the country's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. ZTR takes the guess work out of fuel management, bringing efficiency to an even higher standard.

Products include:

Control System

NEXSYS™ III-i - Improving locomotive adhesion, performance, diagnostics, and overall efficiency with this advanced, proven and reliable control system.

Automatic Engine Start Stop (AESS)

SmartStart - The industry-leading locomotive automatic engine start/stop system because of proven results on thousands of locomotives. With an ROI of less than 12 months, it saves railways 1.5 million gallons of fuel every month!

Battery Start Assist

KickStart - Uses supercapacitor technology to offload the starting current required from batteries to start the locomotive. This results in more reliable locomotive starts and extended battery life.

Fuel Management

InteLevel - makes it easy to remotely connect to your fuel management data, so you can better manage fuel levels fleet wide.

Telematics and Diagnostics

The ZTR SAVER™ is a remote communication device that, when added to a system like SmartStart®, gives you wireless information about the performance of your system.

Locomotive Battery Saver System

The Locomotive Battery Saver System improves reliability by opening automatically after a pre-set time to prevent inopportune delays caused by dead batteries.
