Fortescue's Formidable Fleet: Battery-Powered Behemoths Begin

Fortescue has commissioned two battery electric locomotives in its Pilbara operations, eliminating one million litres of diesel annually. These Progress Rail machines feature 14.5MWh batteries, the world's largest for land-mobile applications. Operating on renewable power through the Pilbara Energy Connect program, they demonstrate heavy-haul rail can function reliably without fossil fuels. The locomotives support Fortescue's Real Zero Target, aiming to eliminate operational emissions by 2030.
