Abstract

The present invention is directed to a locomotive that includes: (a) a transmission (105) operable to drive a plurality of axles; (b) an electric motor (104) operatively connected to and driving the transmission; (c) an energy storage unit (106) operable to store electrical energy and supply electrical energy to the electric motor; (d) one or more prime movers (102) operable to supply electrical energy to the energy storage unit and electric motor; and (e) a power distribution bus (109) electrically connecting the energy storage unit, prime mover(s), and electric motor. The energy storage unit and/or generator provide electrical energy to the electric motor via the power distribution bus to cause the electric motor to rotate the axles via the transmission.
