R30222 DB Cargo, Class 66, Co-Co, 66004 'Climate Hero' - Era 11 (Web Exclusive)
Product Info
DB Cargo UK has one of the largest Scottish rail freight terminals at Mossend in North Lanarkshire and is multiplying the benefits of moving road freight to rail by utilising HVO. Following their initiative to emphasise and draw attention to alternate fuels and environmental awareness, 66004 is a very particular locomotive aside from its prominent green 'I am a Climate Hero' livery.The environmentally friendly locomotive is fuelled by hydro-treated vegetable oil (HVO) and is the latest step forward in creating cleaner and greener freight trains. HVO is synthetically made using a hydro-treatment process from waste vegetable oils or animal fats. Tests are already reporting HVO can create reductions in emissions of up to 90%.
The locomotive was displayed for all to see on Wednesday the 15th of September in a bid to increase awareness of the environmental advantages of a modal shift to rail. The Climate Week is intended to provide encouragement to bring further support in the form of action to help Scotland meet its net zero carbon emissions by 2045. Moving goods from road to rail brings enormous environmental benefits already, and also as freight trains replace millions of lorry journeys in Scotland each year.
