Self-Propelled Railcars for Autonomous, Zero-Emissions Material Movement in Plant
Intramotev will discuss implications of self-propelled battery-electric railcars for intra-plant material movement. Intramotev retrofits railcars to enable remote or autonomous operation. The vehicle can operate as a switcher of one to four traditional railcars or move independently. This frees locomotive crews, reduces diesel costs/emissions and keeps humans safe. For each ton-mile moved with Intramotev instead of a diesel truck, 162 g of CO2 is eliminated. Reducing transportation costs also enables more economical usage of scrap as feedstock. The product has been tested as a full-scale MVP prototype and will be deployed to customers in Q4 2023 and Q1 2024.
