Legal framework
UIC II standard for rail diesel locomotives (2003)
Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) Directive
– Amendment in 2004 lead to stage IIIA (2006 for DMUs and 2009 for
locomotives)
– Stage IIIB introduced (2012)
– In-engine improvements are no longer sufficient = after-treatments
need to be used for the first time in railway applications
– Stage IIIA and IIIB have been adopted for railway engines above 130kW

research A number of key initiatives have been developed recently:
– GREEN-green heavy duty engine (EC, 2004-2008)
– Rail Diesel Study by UIC (2006)
– CleanER-D, Clean European rail diesel (EC, 2009-2013)
After-treatment technology used/considered:
– EGR
– SCR
– DPF
There are other solutions such as hybridisation of diesel traction….
– On-board energy storage
– Flywheels
– Battery
– Double-layer capacitors
– Other

conclusions
Major significant efforts being made to reduce the already
outstanding emission levels from rail
Stage IIIB
Fuel type can contribute to the reduction of emissions
Hybridisation
