500th Evolution for Indian Railways
Wabtec has delivered the 500th Evolution Series locomotive to Indian Railways. The celebration at Wabtec’s plant in Marhowra, Bihar in India marked another milestone in USD 2.5 billion agreement signed in 2025 as part of the government of India’s public private partnership ‘Make in India’ programme to develop and supply 1,000 fuel-efficient, emission-compliant diesel-electric Evolution Series locomotives.
The 500th locomotive is a 4500-horsepower, dual-cab locomotive. To date, Wabtec has delivered 438 of those models and 62 of the 6000-horsepower, single-cab locomotives to Indian Railways.
Indian Railways is using the locomotives extensively for heavy-haul and container operations in the country. (ben)
