Railway Age Virtual Conference: Next-Gen Motive Power 2024
…
Event Info
Journey to Net-Zero
The railway industry is working hard to develop lower and ultimately zero-emission locomotives, and taking active steps to further reduce emissions associated with current technology.
Railway Age’s Next-Gen Motive Power virtual conference pulls together green motive technology experts for an in-depth look at current power initiatives. During this free virtual event, they will candidly discuss what’s working and what isn’t, offer updates on existing programs, and explore the various alternatives on offer.
Moving to zero emissions presents a unique challenge. Join us September 19 to better understand the transition and how it directly relates to your operations.
