Rail technology provider Wabtec (NYSE: WAB) and scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Argonne National Laboratory are working together to develop a hybrid locomotive engine that can run on both hydrogen and diesel. Oak Ridge reached out to Wabtec in June 2021 about housing the engine at the national laboratory. So, we’re having to pull in and upgrade all of the sides [since the lab was set up for light-duty vehicles].”(Photo: Oak Ridge National Laboratory/U.S. It will develop computer simulations to help guide some of the hardware design and the experiments Oak Ridge will be working on, Pihl said. Oak Ridge will then feed the data back to Argonne so it can improve the simulations.
