A liquid-cooled charging system enables fast charging of up to 680 kW, with a full charge completed in just 70 minutes.

This approach ensures high operational efficiency at industrial sites where minimizing downtime is critical.

Moreover, the use of battery power eliminates harmful emissions, which is especially important given the tightening environmental safety standards.

Battery Locomotive by CRRC Dalian: A Step Toward a Sustainable Future

In 2023, CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive introduced a 1.5 MW battery shunting locomotive for Lianyuan Iron & Steel Group.

That model became the most powerful battery-powered shunting locomotive in China, reflecting the industry’s shift toward eco-friendly technologies.

As a result, China’s railway manufacturing sector is accelerating its transition to clean energy solutions.

Locomotive producers aim to meet the growing demand from industrial enterprises by focusing on energy efficiency, autonomy, and resistance to harsh operating conditions.

Experts believe demand for such innovations will continue to grow as companies modernize their fleets and move toward green technologies.
