Houston to upgrade to Tier 4 Advanced Powertrain Technology
The port authority is coordinating this project in a public/private partnership including GE Transportation, FEV, Inc., Southwest Research, and the Houston Advanced Research Centre, to accelerate the development, deployment and implementation of next-generation Tier 4 engines for use in marine vessels and locomotives that meet new federal clean engine standards.
The estimated cost for the entire program is approximately US$78m. GE Transportation has committed US$20m in matching funds, and the port authority and other partners are seeking grant funding from various state and federal programs for the remaining costs.
The project will be a first for Texas and reinforce Houston as a centre for original air quality technologies, backed by business and government incentives.
