RAI opts for dual-fuel locomotives
IRAN Heavy Diesel Engine Manufacturing Company (Desa) is poised to launch a new range of dual-fuel diesel/natural gas engines, the first of which will be supplied to Iranian Islamic Republic Railways (RAI) next year for use in its locomotives. The engine will run on a blend of 80% natural gas and 20% diesel, and will initially be produced with an output of 800kW, although Desa plans to expand the range to include 16 and 20-cylinder variants with an output of up to 2000kW.
