E2O: 8 years’ maintenance = 16 filter changes
NYAB’s clean and green air compressor
runs without any oil and will last
up to 8 years between rebuilds.
Oil-Free Compressor
Developed by NYAB and Knorr-Bremse’s Air Supply Group, the leading supplier of rail oil-free compressors in the world, oil-free compressors are highly reliable, inexpensive to operate and easy on the environment – the only outputs are a little water and a lot of compressed air.
The highly-reliable VV1000T oil-free compressor supplies the air required by the long heavy haul trains common to North America. It fits into the same space envelope as conventional air compressors, and uses the same mounting interfaces, air filters and existing locomotive control scheme with several drive options. The compressor provides 185 cfm air at 145 psi pressure, and is optimized for extreme temperature operation from -40° F to 158° F.
Eliminating oil fouling (coking) leads to less downstream contamination of the air brake system, which reduces and simplifies maintenance, resulting in lower life-cycle costs.
Absolutely oil-free air
No more oil-water emulsion problems
No oil in air dryer spitter valve
Improved motor performance – no motor rubbing

E2O: reduces fuel consumption by 8-12%
LEADER (Locomotive Engineer Assist/Display & Event Recorder) technology continues to add functionality. LEADER DriverAssist™ prompts the locomotive engineer to make optimal decisions to reduce fuel consumption while effectively managing time and minimizing in-train forces. LEADER AutoThrottle™ automatically makes throttle adjustments and dynamic brake applications while prompting the engineer to optimize air brake application and release. LEADER AutoPilot™ controls throttle, dynamic brake, and air brake, tightly integrating with the railway’s chosen PTC system for fail-safe operation.
LEADERLEADER® reduces fuel consumption
by up to 8-12 percent while
improving train handling,
effectively managing schedules
and minimizing in-train forces.
Lower fuel costs
Efficient time management
Lower in-train forces
Longer equipment / track life
Less lading damage
Safer operations
LEADER has been widely deployed on the current PTC platform standard with an advanced plan to integrate LEADER content into the PTC operating screen. Today LEADER operates standalone on the PTC computer and utilizes the entire PTC screen to display content. When PTC comes online, LEADER will provide the same functionality but with a highly integrated PTC/LEADER solution. Users do not need to buy a new hardware platform to enjoy the benefits of LEADER and PTC, merely upgrade to full PTC capability. New York Air Brake has implemented protocols to leverage PTC data to provide a seamless transition from LEADER standalone to a fully integrated solution.
The business case for LEADER is quantified through an extensive and powerful back office that collects and organizes data to measure the effect of the technology.
Other systems may promise benefits – LEADER measures and delivers them.
