The FLXDrive Series of locomotives are GE's first battery-electric locomotives, using a similar design to the Evolution Series, with the exception of a diesel prime mover. The FLXDrive series was introduced in late 2019 with one BEL44C4D demonstrator unit, but other FLXDrive variants are planned for the future.
The ES40DC (Evolution Series, 4,000 hp, DC traction) replaced the Dash 9-40CW model in the General Electric catalogue and, like the former model, was delivered exclusively to Norfolk Southern Railway. ES44DCs owned by CSX Transportation were also given this designation in 2009 after being de-rated to 4,000 hp (3,000 kW). However, high ...
The previous work of Laumeister at GE on the experimental Delta electric car that debuted in 1968 helped pave the way for the production of the Elec-Trak. [2] Despite the limited production and availability of the electric tractors, many Elec-Traks are still in use today [ 3 ] and have a cult following among tractor and electric vehicle ...
GE L250 Series, 6- and 8-cylinder marine engines for propulsion and electric generator usage [8] PowerHaul series. GE PowerHaul P616, 16-cylinder engine used in GE PowerHaul series locomotives. [9] V228 (formerly 7FDM) (Bore 9"/228.6mm, stroke 10.5"/266.7 [10])
GE Transportation is the largest producer of diesel–electric locomotives for both freight and passenger applications in North America, believed to hold up to a 70% market share of that market. [3] The only other significant competitor is Caterpillar -owned Electro-Motive Diesel , holding an approximate 30% market share.
The GE E60 is a family of six-axle 6,000 hp (4.5 MW) C-C electric locomotives made by GE Transportation Systems (GE) between 1972 and 1983. The E60s were produced in several variants for both freight and passenger use in the United States and Mexico.
In 1913, GE combined an internal combustion engine with electric traction motors in the GE 57-ton gas-electric boxcab. Impetus for wider adoption of this technology was provided by improved control systems introduced around 1920 and the State of New York's 1926 Kaufman Act , which banned the use of steam locomotives within the New York ...
The XM214 was first developed for aircraft applications. Later General Electric developed it into a man-portable weapon system, known as the GE Six-Pak.The complete Six-Pak system weighed 85 pounds (38.5 kg) with 1,000 rounds of ammunition, comparable in weight to some heavy machine guns.
