The aim of this demonstration will be to prove the feasibility and performance of hydrogen fuel cells as a viable alternative to traditional fuels for line-haul rail.

Under the MoU, Progress Rail – a Caterpillar company ­– will design and build a prototype hydrogen fuel cell locomotive for line-haul and/or other types of rail service.

Chevron will develop the fuelling concept and infrastructure and the hydrogen-powered locomotive will be demonstrated on BNSF’s lines for a yet-to-be-agreed amount of time.
