Upon hearing the rolls royce namethe first thing that comes to the mind of your customers or followers is the luxury, comfort and elegance that they project through their luxury vehicles. However, it seems that innovation is present at all times, and that is why have decided to take a new step towards sustainability through Zero emission trains.
The trip is not carried out alone, as the British firm has signed a memorandum of understanding on the whole con Porterbrooka connational rolling stock company dedicated to researching the potential of synthetic and zero-emission fuels, which help clean the air produced by rail systems.
All this arises after obtaining successful results after introducing hybrid wagons (electric and diesel batteries). for months, the brand works to advance in this type of vehicle until finding results that help to reach the general goal. The sectors involved in the process will be infrastructure, operating models and fuel chain supply.
He sUK rail system aims to completely eradicate diesel-powered trains by 2040, in addition to be zero emissions by 2050. For it, Rolls-Royce will play a key role in the construction of said objective.
The identification of several routes has started, where different types of options will be evaluated (hydrogen, fuel cells, batteries, electric and sustainable hybrid fuels).
“We have extensive experience in rail technology and can leverage this into new net zero emissions technologies for safety critical applications. We are committed to helping our customers make the transition, allowing our current and future products to be used in a way that is compatible with reducing emissions.” said Warren East, who at the time was the CEO of Rolls-Royce.
“We have been at the forefront of the development of alternative drive systems for rolling stock in recent years through our innovations and long-term asset management approach. Our partnership with Rolls-Royce will mean that we will continue to lead the UK rail sector in sustainable solutions, drawing on expertise across industries on the path to net zero.” said Porterbrook CEO Mary Grant.
