Pike Research forecasts accelerating hybrid locomotive sales from 2015-2020

Green Car Congress

Several Green Goats are still being used for light duty service, Pike notes, but the vehicles have not been available since 2007. Toshiba is the only manufacturer to currently have a hybrid locomotive available (a passenger locomotive for the Japanese market), according to Pike. Advanced lead acid batteries will make inroads as well.
