Plug in Hybrid Shunting Locomotive

• Introducing a high efficient intelligent hybrid
  locomotive
• The second Hybrid Locomotive in the world
• The first plug in hybrid concept in the world
• 50 to 80 percent reduction in diesel fuel
  consumption
• Cut air emissions by 80

Plug in Hybrid Shunting Locomotive

• A G12 locomotive is converted to hybrid by a cost
  of around 100,000

Hybrid Technology

• Using advanced AC system
• Advanced inverters with Skiip Semikron IGBTs
• Recovering brake energy by regenerative braking
• Noise-less especially at stand still and idle
  times
• Diesel generator downsizing from 1000 kVA to 50
  kVA
• Better maneuver especially when the direction is
  changed
• Cost saving up to 700,000 / Locomotive
• Possibility of using the old system chassis and
  converting that to a very efficient modern system
• Cruise control option outside the station yard
• Able to carry 10 wagons with 400 Tons pay load
• Up to 60 km/h at zero slope

DEVELOPMENT STATUS

• Prototype is built and tested
• More powerful Hybrid Locomotives are Designed (Up
  to 2000 HP)
• Proposal is sent to Railway system to built 50
  locomotives by overhaul the old G12 locomotives
• Can Hybridize the line locomotives that bring 15
  saving in the diesel fuel consumption and 2000 HP
  power boost for 4000 HP Alstom Diesels

UNIQUENESS COMPETITIVENESS

• Hybrid Technology
• Advanced AC systems
• Plug in Hybrid
• Up to 80 fuel savings
• Up to 80 emissions reduction
• 30 price of a normal locomotive
• Regenerative braking
• Downsized diesel engines

12
Technology Applications

• Shunting Locomotive for Stations
• Line locomotives
• GM plans to change all locomotives to hybrid and
  15 saving in the main line locomotives

13
Technology Market

• Railway stations and their contractors for
  passenger and load transportation
• All private companies that deliver goods by
  trains
• Steel manufacturing Plants
• Iron ore mines

14
Available Tech. Transfer Meth.

• Traction Motors from Overseas
• Inverters can be home build
• Old chassis are available
• Controller and control localized
• Training
• Joint venture with wagon Manufacturers

15
Qualifications Licenses

• Functional tests are approved by Iran Railway
  System
• Field tests are done

16
Technology Value

• Around 300,000 for each locomotive if 50
  locomotives are ordered
• Compared with 1 Million for similar locomotives
  bought from overseas
• Our own know how
• Possible export capabilities by a joint venture
  with Wagon manufacturing companies
• 240,000 liters/Year Diesel Fuel and 50,000 /Year
  Spare Parts Saving for each shunting locomotive

17
Customer Support

• Wagon manufacturers can support the after sales
  services
• All electric components and soft wares can be
  localized
• All inverters and DC/DC converters can be built
• Wagon manufacturers can built or overhaul the
  chassis
