The General Electric ES44AC was developed in the early 2000's and entered service in 2005. Commonly known as a "GEVO" locomotive, these feature a 4400 horsepower GEVO12 prime mover designed to meet the EPA Tier 2 pollution reduction standards. These locomotives are both cleaner and more fuel efficient than their predecessors.
Since their introduction, the model has seen continued and significant improvement to take advantage of new technology and meet new requirements. GE is in the process of testing a natural gas variant as well as producing models to meet the EPA Tier 4 pollution reduction standards taking effect in 2015.
The model has been extremely successful with well over 5000 units having been produced with no end in sight.
