PowerHaul for Port of Felixstowe

The new locomotive provides increased payload and enhanced fuel economy, and will run as part of the Freightliner service to Birmingham, one of 28 daily services from the port to 13 separate inland terminals.

The PowerHaul locomotive has a top speed of 75mph, and weighs in at 125 tonnes. With features including dynamic breaks, and a built-in auxiliary power unit reducing power consumption, the locomotive emits less carbon per gross-tonne mile than electric locomotives, and more than 10 tonnes less than its road equivalent.
