OverviewGE is committed to fueling the future by strategically serving the energy market. GE, one of the largest lessors serving the energy market, is focused on providing our customers with a complete energy package. Through collaboration with other GE business units, we are committed to providing our customers with a complete value-added package. As the core of the mining industry, coal is one of the world's oldest and most used resources today. Coal is essential for meeting U.S. energy needs as it generates the bulk of U.S. electricity. One of the largest commodities moved by rail, with approximately 1.1 billion tons produced annually according to the U.S. Department of Energy, coal will continue to fuel the world's furnaces for years to come. GE is experienced in the mining industry and is prepared to meet the expected growth with one of the youngest and largest fleets. GE has added more than 16,000 cars to our fleet in the last five years. We have invested in emerging technologies such as aluminum coal gondolas and aluminum auto-discharge coal hoppers for maximized loading capacity and efficiencies for our customers. Since many coal mines are far from the user, it is necessary to have an extensive transportation and storage system to get the coal to the consumer. GE understands the importance of seamlessly moving this commodity and has the infrastructure in place to provide assets when our customers request them and a financial solution that fits their business needs. |
