The locomotives ordered were intended to match older types in terms of haulage capacity whilst at the same time being more fuel-efficient. The project was a collaborative effort between Freightliner and GE, with input from drivers on the cab design. [1] [2] The locomotives utilize a GE PowerHaul P616 diesel engine rated at 2,750 kW (3,690 hp). [3]
