I-PITTSBURGH (AP) - Omnye wabenzi abakhulu bee-locomotive uthengisa ii-locomotives ezitsha zebhetri njengoko umzila kaloliwe kunye neenkampani zemigodi zisebenza ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni.
I-Rio Tinto ivumile ukuthenga ii-locomotives ezine ze-FLXdrive ukuze zisebenze kwimigodi yentsimbi e-Australia, i-Wabtec yathi ngoMvulo, owona myalelo mkhulu wemodeli entsha ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. enye inkampani yezemigodi yase-Australia kunye ne-Canadian National Railway.
I-BNSF ivavanye i-locomotive enebhetri esuka e-Wabtec kumzila kaloliwe wase-California kulo nyaka uphelileyo, enye yeeprojekthi zokulinga umzila kaloliwe uye wabhengeza ukuvavanya ezinye iifutha zikaloliwe zokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwegesi eluhlaza.
Zombini iBNSF kunye neCanadian Pacific Railroad zisandula ukubhengeza izicwangciso zokuvavanya iilocomotives ezine-hydrogen-powered, kwaye iCanadian National Railway ithe iza kusebenzisa iilocomotives ezinebhetri ezithengayo ukuthutha imithwalo ePennsylvania. Ngaphambili, oololiwe abakhulu baye bazama iilocomotives ezithembele kwigesi yendalo.
Oololiwe bangowona mthombo uphambili wokukhutshwa kwekhabhoni koololiwe, ngoko ke kufuneka babuyisele izithuthi zabo ukuze bahlangabezane neenjongo zabo zokunciphisa ukukhutshwa kokukhutshwa kwezinto ezikhutshwayo. Kodwa iinkampani zikaloliwe zithi kungathatha iminyaka eliqela phambi kokuba zilungele ukusetyenziswa ngokubanzi koololiwe zisebenzisa amanye amafutha.
Oololiwe abatsha be-Wabtec baza kusiwa e-Rio Tinto ngo-2023, nto leyo evumela umsebenzi-mgodini ukuba aqalise ukutshintshela ezinye zezitimela ezisebenza nge-diesel ezisetyenziswa ngoku.
