Last Friday, a dozen fuel-efficient, low-emission locomotives <\/strong>designed to withstand Brazil’s climatic conditions were delivered in Contagem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These machines are prepared to transport large loads through steep terrains and sharp curves, intended for operation by Ferrovia Centro Atl\u00e2ntica SA (FCA).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I have dedicated 42 years to the railroads, starting at thirteen as an office boy. I have built my career and professional life in this field. Being part of this project is a great satisfaction because I know that our work impacts all of Brazil,” said Renato Moreno, Industrial Manager.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazil: Sustainable Mobility by Train<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Centro Atl\u00e2ntica Railroad<\/strong>, the longest in Brazil, spans seven states. Now, with an approximate investment of R$ 300 million<\/strong> by its administrator, these locomotives are intended to meet the growing demand for transporting grains, sugar, fertilizers, and other products, mainly between Goi\u00e1s, Minas Gerais, and S\u00e3o Paulo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“These machines already have a very strong sustainability footprint. They can reduce emissions by 20% compared to other equipment and, despite having more power, can even run on biodiesel,” said George Santoro, ExecutiveSecretary of the Ministry of Transportation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is what we want: to expand the public sustainability policy for a mode that is already very sustainable,” he concluded.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, regarding the locomotives (ES43BBi),<\/strong> they are designed for heavy transport and offer performance on steep slopes, narrow tunnels, and roads with sharp curves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They stand out for their low life cycle cost and long maintenance intervals. Finally, they are prepared to integrate software solutions<\/strong> that can significantly improve efficiency and safety, optimizing train operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
