With a $200,000 grant from Michigan’s Office of Future Mobility and Electrification, Intramotev has taken a groundbreaking step by deploying its TugVolt self-propelled railcars at a mining site in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The move not only underscores the company’s commitment to innovation but also reinforces its dedication to fostering a greener, more sustainable future.
Intramotev CEO Tim Luchini expressed his excitement about the venture, stating, “We’re thrilled to offer our customer, Iron Senergy, the unmatched fuel savings and environmental advantages of the ReVolt. Today’s announcement stands as a pivotal moment in our ongoing mission to promote decarbonization within the mining and freight transportation sectors. And believe me, this is just the beginning.”
Looking ahead, Intramotev plans to introduce its locomotive replacement, TugVolt, at a calcium mine located in Northern Michigan later this year, solidifying its position as an industry trailblazer in the realm of sustainable transportation.
