  • The first of 300 China Mainline Evolution® Series locomotives will arrive in China at the end of August 2008. The China Mainline locomotive builds upon GE Transportation's most technologically advanced, fuel-efficient and low-emissions technology available to-date. With a peak output of 6,250-horsepower, the engine offers 40% more power at 30% less weight than Evolution® Series locomotives currently used in North America. The lighter-weight design increases the eco-friendly properties of the locomotive. The Ecomagination-certified GEVO 16-cylinder engine generates 84% fewer emissions and increases fuel efficiency by 3% to 5%.
