The greatest challenge is the same as that which is plaguing the adoption of fuel cells in the automotive market—the buildout of low-cost green hydrogen infrastructure. Health and safety concerns, like the impact of diesel particulate exhaust emissions on construction worker health, and noise, could be equally important drivers.

The market will receive a boost from new diesel locomotive emissions regulations scheduled to go into effect in the European Union in 2014 and in North America in 2015, which will require diesel locomotives to receive substantial changes or exhaust treatments. Other benefits include reduced noise levels and lower maintenance costs.

In Europe, track electrification will eliminate the need for either diesel or battery storage in many areas. However, Pike expects hybrid locomotives to have a strong return on investment (ROI), as a result of the ability to use low-cost batteries. Advanced lead acid batteries will make inroads as well.

The switched reluctance (SR) motor-based SpeedStart and TIGERS technology are being incorporated into the recently announced Advanced Diesel Electric Powertrain project known as ADEPT. SR machines are ideally suited to this concept of low cost development, while reducing the cost of production components. Earlier post.)
