08296 Conversion contract agreed with Heidelberg Materials

Positive Traction are happy to announce that Heidelberg Materials has ordered its first zero emission battery shunting locomotive to support internal rail operations at one of the UK’s leading quarry facilities. 08296 will be delivered to Whatley Quarry in Summer 2025. All of us at Positive Traction are hugely excited by Heidelberg Materials’ recognition of the opportunities presented by repurposing existing traction to meet the zero emissions demands of tomorrow’s railway.
