EMD locomotive automatic engine start/stop

Iarnród Éireann

Iarnród Éireann are seeking to reduce the consumption rate of our diesel locomotives by the automatically shutting down of the engines when not in use. The desired system will be fitted with a comprehensive monitoring system which will monitor the engine condition and will manage the subsequent re-starting of the engine when various parameters exceed pre determined threshold values.
Iarnród Éireann is now requesting potential suppliers of automatic stop / start equipment, who have results proven under controlled test conditions, preferably by another railway operator, to offer their product for consideration.
Any equipment offered for consideration must not adversely affect engine wear or reduce the performance of the engine.
Iarnród Éireann intends to issue a formal tender enquiry to suitable applicants and subsequently engage with one (or more or none, depending on the offerings) potential supplier to negotiate a contract for supply.
The contract will include an option for a full turnkey solution which will include the full installation the equipment.
