Lembit Salasoo: Hi there I am Lembit Salasoo I am a PhD Research Engineer here at GE Global Research at Niskayuna, New York and in fact where we are standing here is next to a Hybrid Transit Bus.  We have got a team here that’s been working about 30 years on Hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles starting with automobiles and going through vans and here we have hybrid buses.  For the last 10 years or so, we have been using this bus as a test bed to develop our technology both in terms of battery technology as well as some of the Advanced Control Technology.  And this is a 20 ton bus and in fact for the last 2 or 3 years more than that, we have been working on Hybrid Locomotives which is a 200 ton vehicle.  Come on inside and I will show you what we are doing.  Now the Hybrid Locomotive has a diesel engine which burns a lot of fuel and generates electricity which is then used to drive the wheels of the locomotive and pull the train. When the train is braking, in fact the motors are controlled to make electricity and that electricity today is vested as heat.  And the whole hybrid concept is to take that braking energy and store it in a battery and then the next time it’s needed to, in fact take the energy from the battery and therefore burn less fuel and we think that this has got potential to save at least 10% fuel on a locomotive which is a big deal. Now coming back, come on down the back, I will show you what we are doing here on the bus.  So we use this bus really as a test bed for some of the technologies that we are going to be using on a locomotive.  This for instance is a battery bank.  These batteries hold enough energy really to drive this bus anywhere from 60 to a 100 miles and here we can see there is a lot of cabling and there is some ventilation equipment here when we use the batteries, they do need to be cooled and this is one of the technologies that we have got installed right now.  We also have some other technologies. We have energy storage inside this case and we have another third energy storage actually underneath the bus.  And here we see the Power Electronics which are used to convert the oxygen from the energy storage batteries and actually drive the wheels and the motor. How this relates now to the Hybrid Locomotive is that once we did the proof-of-principle on these 20 ton transit buses, we saw that really we could do similar things for GE’s, one of GE’s premiere products the 200 ton freight locomotive.  And in 2002, we did a proof-of-principle where we took an existing GE Locomotive, outfitted it with batteries and showed that truly in fact this principle does work.  We also went out to the Department of Energy and are working together with them to develop the right battery system to put on to a locomotive And we have been so successful that in 2004, based on our results, GE Transportation has now initiated the design teams and they are working very hard to actually design a Hybrid Locomotive that we are going to introduce in the marketplace in the next couple of years. See you guys later.
