Zero-emission conversion
Battery Electric Locomotive
Medha offers conversion kit and turn-key solutions to convert non-compliant diesel locomotive to a 100% battery operated locomotive. Any locomotive, 4-axle or 6-axle will be made zero-emission (ZE) compliant.
Converted battery-electric locomotive (BEL) will have same or similar horse-power and load haulage capacity as diesel locomotive. HP rating will range between 1000HP to 2400HP.
Battery size and charger ratings are optimized to meet operating duty-cycle requirements, cut-down idling and reduce wastage of available power.
Medha offers extended warranty terms to match useful life of the locomotive, ensuring continued availability of parts and service support and to overcome technological obsolescence.
