Railway Association of Canada includes FPC in their Locomotive Emissions Monitoring Program report for the third time
Thursday, June 3, 2010
In June 2010, the Railway Association of Canada released its annual Locomotive Emissions Monitoring Program report for 2008. The report states:
GO Transit uses the proprietary FPC fuel additive and reported advantages for fuel consumption. The advantages were confirmed in tests at Engine Systems Development Centre of CAD Railway Industries in Lachine, Quebec, which showed a 2.5 to 7.0 per cent reduction (depending on notch and load) with concomitant reductions in CO and smoke emissions of 2.8 to 5.8 per cent, but a slight increase in NOx emissions.
This is the third year that FPC has been included in the annual emissions report.
The sections that mention FPC are available on Transport Canada's web site:
