Testing continues at MxV Rail with π•πŽπ‹π“ ⚑ actively powering a locomotive — captured here on Colorado’s 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 a simple premise: π›πž 𝐟𝐒𝐬𝐜𝐚π₯π₯𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐒𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐒𝐚π₯π₯𝐲 π«πžπ¬π©π¨π§π¬π’π›π₯𝐞, with emissions reduction as a by-product and 𝘯𝘰𝘡 𝘡𝘩𝘦 𝘀𝘰𝘴𝘡 π˜₯𝘳π˜ͺ𝘷𝘦𝘳.

This is a retrofit solution designed to work with existing locomotives, deliver fuel savings, extend asset life, and produce measurable ROI without waiting on new fleets or infrastructure.

As testing progresses, conversations with operators are shifting from π˜ͺ𝘧 hybridization works to 𝘩𝘰𝘸 it fits their fleets. ⚑⚑⚑
