Press Release: DPG successfully validates VOLT hybrid locomotive solution for rail operations
Dayton-Phoenix Group today announced the successful completion of testing for VOLT, its hybrid locomotive power solution designed to reduce fuel consumption and emissions across rail operations, including industrial and mine-site rail systems, while preserving the value and performance of existing diesel locomotives. VOLT is engineered to integrate directly with conventional diesel-electric locomotives, supplying supplemental electric […]
VOLT: Engineering progress on the rails below Pikes Peak
Testing continues at MxV Rail with ๐๐๐๐ โก actively powering a locomotive — captured here on Coloradoโs Front Range with Pikes Peak in the background. Pikes Peak has seen more than its share of engineering milestones over the years; this one just happens to be happening on the rails below it. VOLT was built on […]
