They offer various locomotive models, including those designed for heavy-haul freight, switching operations, and specialized industrial use. In addition to new locomotive sales, MotivePower provides comprehensive aftermarket services, including maintenance, repair, and parts supply, to keep existing fleets operational. The company plays a significant role in the rail transportation industry, providing critical equipment for the movement of goods and people across North America and internationally. MotivePower continues to evolve its product offerings, focusing on fuel efficiency and environmental compliance in its locomotive designs.
