All the parties have entered a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to demonstrate a locomotive powered by hydrogen fuel cells. Progress Rail will design and build a prototype hydrogen fuel cell locomotive for line-haul and/or other types of rail service. Chevron will develop the fueling concept and infrastructure to support the use of the locomotive. The prototype hydrogen fuel cell locomotive will then be demonstrated on BNSF’s lines for a mutually agreed upon period of time. However, the demonstration project is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval.
