Clayton shunters / locomotives are becoming the haulage choice of UK industry
Cut carbon emissions by keeping on track with Clayton Locomotives
Being the workhorses of rail depots and manufacturing facilities, some shunters are 60 years old, possess high emissions levels and are increasingly unreliable, labour intensive and expensive to operate. They usually require at least 2 personnel and specialist maintainers. A good example can be found in the case of the 996 Class ‘08’ shunters made in the UK between 1953 and 1962. Less than 10% of them remain operational today and the number is decreasing every year due to the obsolescence of critical parts and general age-related issues.
Plug-in mode
- 100% fuel saving
- Zero emissions
- Typically, over 600 tonnes CO2 reduction per year compared to older shunters
Self-charging hybrid mode compared to old shunters like an 08
- Up to 40% fuel saving
- 54% reduction in CO
- 97% reduction in NOx
- 91% reduction in Hydrocarbons (HC)
- 99% reduction in Particle Matter (PM)
Battery Rail Shunters / Locomotives:
- Zero emissions, maximum CO2 reduction, no fumes inside workshops
- Low noise, increasingly important near residential areas & for 24/7 operations
- Lowest operational & maintenance costs
- Highest availability in service
- Regenerative braking, resulting in reduced brake wear & reduced charging times
- Option of on-board or depot-based battery charging
