The Ottawa Valley Railway as part of the Railway Association of Canada, has made it a priority to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as NOX and particulate matter in our locomotives and engineering track equipment. Ottawa Valley Railway is seeking solutions to reduce fossil fuel consumption which in turn will reduce GHG emissions. The fleet consists of eight General Motors GP38-2 locomotives and various on-track engineering equipment that also runs on diesel fuel. We expect that there will be separate solutions for the locomotives and on-track equipment. Like many other industries, the Canadian rail industry is looking for alternatives to reduce our carbon footprint as part of the Paris Accord. A technology or product capable of reducing and or complementing our current fuel demands. Examples include, but are not limited to: - Driver advisory & scheduling software - Aerodynamic enhancements - Sustainable fuels - Electrification - Diesel particulate filtering
- Meet new potential customers in new markets. - Potential to pitch your technology (if selected) to a business unit of one of 113 separate business units within Genesee and Wyoming Railway.
