DB Cargo UK and Tata Steel 'collaborate on decarbonisation'

摘要

Tata Steel and DB Cargo UK have successfully trialled the use of 100% renewable hydro-treated vegetable oil (HVO) in a Class 60 locomotive transporting product from Wales to the West Midlands. The 'carbon-busting' locomotive carrying some 2,500 tonnes of steel coil was the first Class 60 locomotive powered purely by the 'environment-friendly' fuel to travel on the mainline UK rail network.
