by | Apr 24, 2025

Watch how OptiFuel Systems is transforming freight rail with next-generation locomotive technology. This video features three real-world scenes that showcase OptiFuel locomotives in action:

    1. Dual-Fuel Refueling: Watch an OptiFuel locomotive refuel with both natural gas and diesel – simultaneously. OptiFuel built the locomotive and the fueling station featured in this segment.
    2. Modular Locomotive Assembly: See our rapid modular build process completed in just 1 hour and 45 minutes—on-site at a railroad, not in a specialized facility. This is modern rail efficiency, in action.
    3. Service Operations: Get a rare look at the world’s first hydrogen-powered freight locomotive in operation. OptiFuel designed and built every power and fuel storage module on board.

OptiFuel Systems is redefining what’s possible in freight rail – delivering unmatched fuel economy, modular efficiency, and smarter, more profitable railroad operations.

The company offers four powertrain options:

  • Diesel-Hybrid
  • Diesel-RNG Dual Fuel Hybrid
  • Hydrogen
  • Battery-Electric
