CRRC Dalian, a China Railway Rolling Stock Corp subsidiary, officially launched a 1,000-kilowatt new energy hybrid locomotive on Wednesday in Dalian, Liaoning province.

记者从中国中车了解到，由中车大连公司研制的1000kW等级内电混合动力机车在大连下线。

This locomotive utilizes a large-capacity lithium-ion power battery as the primary power source, with a diesel engine serving as backup during charging. The diesel engine unit operates only at optimal economic speeds through the hybrid power control system, meeting traction requirements while achieving energy efficiency, emission reduction and noise reduction goals.

据介绍，该机车以高度集成的柴发机组和大容量动力电池为动力源，具有动力冗余功能。机车运行以动力电池为主，大幅减少柴油机油耗和排放，同时柴油机满足充电和牵引要求，确保机车可靠运用。

The train is expected to achieve fuel savings of over 40 percent. Compared to traditional internal combustion locomotives, this new energy locomotive can reduce the emissions of nitrogen oxide, hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide by 45, 73 and 83 percent, respectively, according to the company.

与传统内燃机车相比，系列化新能源机车实现了污染物排放的全面减少。“内燃发动机+动力电池”机车实现氮氧化物减排45％、碳氢化物减排73％、一氧化碳减排83％。按照污染物排放降低45％计算，1台新能源机车每年可少排放4吨有害物质，减少碳排放374吨，相当于植树34000棵。

Moreover, the new energy locomotive can simulate the operating habits of experienced drivers, enabling autonomous intelligent transportation in closed scenarios.

机车还搭载了先进的微机控制系统、主辅一体式牵引变流装置和微机控制的制动系统，具有高效、安全、功能扩展等特点，根据运输工况特点可实现遥控驾驶、自动驾驶等。

Sun Shidong, vice general manager of CRRC Dalian, noted a strong demand for this new energy-shunting locomotive in the market. CRRC has expressed intentions to cooperate with Ansteel Group, a State-owned steel maker, with plans to mass sell these locomotives this year in anticipation of future demand.

中车大连机车车辆有限公司副总经理孙石栋介绍，从市场反映看，此款新能源机车的需求较为旺盛。目前，中车集团已经和鞍钢集团达成合作意向，将在今年批量销售给鞍钢，全面满足钢铁企业内部运输要求。
