The Belgian infrastructure manager Infrabel and the Association of European Rail Rolling Stock Lessors (AERRL) have been cooperating on how to achieve a \u201cnet-zero rail fleet\u201d. This collaboration is now taking more concrete steps, as new traction systems will be tested in three different use cases for rail freight.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The three use cases will be a long-distance, multi-voltage freight connection, shunting operations in port areas and a short-distance national freight connection. For this initiative, biofuels (such HVO, renewable gas and ammonia) and hybrid solution (electric-battery or electric-diesel) will be deployed, assessed and compared to traditional diesel traction.<\/p>\n
