Wabtec Secures $386 Million MTA Order for Hybrid Locomotives

Wabtec Corporation has secured a $386 million follow-on order from New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority $(MTA)$ to deliver additional R255 hybrid battery-diesel work locomotives. The agreement covers both locomotives and spare parts, with production scheduled to take place at Wabtec's design and development center in Erie, Pennsylvania. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2027. The R255 hybrid locomotives are intended to replace older equipment within the MTA's network, with features including the ability to operate in battery-only mode for extended periods, onboard diagnostics, and cameras for monitoring track and signaling infrastructure. This order supports the MTA's ongoing efforts to modernize its transit system.
