In a notable advancement for both the UK rail industry and sustainable transportation, Allelys has successfully transported the innovative Class 93 locomotive using their specialized modular 6-axle railed semi-trailers. This landmark delivery highlights a significant milestone in the integration of advanced rail technologies.
The Class 93, a state-of-the-art locomotive manufactured by Stadler in Spain and owned by Rail Operations (Assets) Ltd, is the first tri-mode locomotive to operate on the UK mainline. It is equipped to function under three distinct power sources: electric, battery, and on-board diesel. This tri-mode capability sets it apart, offering unparalleled flexibility and efficiency in rail operations.
Designed with impressive green credentials, the Class 93 is engineered to support the rail industry’s goals for decarbonization. The locomotive’s ability to seamlessly switch between different power modes not only enhances operational versatility but also significantly reduces its environmental impact. It can operate on electrified tracks using electric power, switch to battery power in emission-sensitive zones, or utilize diesel power in areas without electrification infrastructure.
Allelys, renowned for their expertise in managing oversized and complex freight, played a crucial role in the transportation of this cutting-edge locomotive. Their use of a modular 6-axle railed semi-trailer ensured the safe and efficient delivery of this advanced machinery, reflecting their commitment to supporting innovative developments within the rail sector.
This successful transportation of the Class 93 marks a significant step forward in the UK’s efforts to modernize its rail network and achieve sustainability targets. The collaboration between Allelys and Rail Operations (Assets) Ltd in bringing this locomotive to the UK underscores the critical role of logistics in facilitating technological progress in transportation.
