Yes. EMD has several SD70ACes of various configurations. GE doesn't at this moment, IIRC, but has test units out on the road.
GE has the ES44AC-H hybrid demos out on the road testing now.
And the TIER IV ES44ACs.
caldreamer GE has the ES44AC-H hybrid demos out on the road testing now.
Are they finally testing the full system?
The original "Hybrid" Demonstrator GE was touring around 5 or so years ago did not have the Energy Recovery/Storage System (in other words it did not operate as a hybrid but as a conventional diesel electric) installed but GE has developed a new battery technology (and built a new plant to manufacture the batteries) so have they got the actual Hybrids testing out on the high iron now?
