Recently, representatives of CSR and Cummins China had a friendly discussion in Beijing, exchanging views on the construction of a strong transportation country under the national dual-carbon strategy and the State Council's initiative to promote large-scale equipment renewal, improving the green transformation of rail transportation equipment, and constructively discussing the further application of hydrogen energy in the field of locomotives.
In response to the important initiative of the State Council to promote large-scale equipment renewal to accelerate the construction of a new development pattern and promote high-quality development, CSR has continued to devote itself to technological innovation and product upgrading, accelerated the new energy transformation of old railroad internal combustion locomotives, and carried out in-depth development of locomotives with the power sources of “diesel engine + power battery”, “pure power battery”, and “hydrogen fuel battery + power battery”, and the transformation of new energy. The company shoulders the national mission of accelerating the green and low-carbon transformation of railroad equipment by supporting the development of locomotive products and new energy transformation.
As a leader in power solutions, Cummins has provided a new generation of QSK19/38 power packages for CSR's new energy shunting locomotives. This series of engine has obtained EU IIIA emission certificate for internal combustion locomotives of the European Union Railway, and realizes better distribution of power and efficient use of energy through intelligent control system.
In addition to more efficient in-cylinder combustion technology upgrades, technical enhancements to this power package product include:
Integral ball-ground cast iron pistons with 10-15 percent higher cylinder durability;
Modular high-pressure common rail fuel system, precision-controlled electronic injectors that can realize multiple injections, smoother combustion process, 50% improvement in idle stability, 50% improvement in cold-start performance, 18% improvement in load response performance, and 80% reduction in noise compared to the previous generation of fuel system engines;
Fuel filtration system with two-stage filtration of nano-materials ensures reliable operation of the fuel system and 500-hour maintenance intervals;
Advanced and rich electronic monitoring and processing system to further enhance the efficiency of engine diagnosis.
This series of power packs has been gradually fitted in all major shunting locomotive lines of China Railway, truly realizing the efficient use of energy, ensuring that the locomotives can provide stable power output under various working conditions, while greatly reducing locomotive emissions and maintaining low-noise operation.
This cooperation has brought a good practice for the application of green transformation of rail transportation equipment in China and the world, and also laid a solid foundation for the in-depth cooperation between the two sides in the field of new energy.
During the meeting, both parties expressed that they will continue to increase R&D investment and promote the application of more innovative technologies, including exploring the application of hydrogen locomotives, so as to join hands to lead the development of rail transportation equipment in the direction of greener, more environmentally friendly and sustainable, and to create a green, intelligent and efficient rail transportation in the future.
