Diesel locomotive engines use heavy duty industrial diesel locomotive starter batteries for starting and operation of a variety of on-board equipment. The modern diesel locomotive in India is a self contained version of the electric locomotive. Like the electric locomotive in Indian Railways, it has electric drive, in the form of traction motors driving the axles and controlled with electronics. For over three decades, Microtex has been a technological leader in the development of high performance Industrial lead acid batteries, especially for Indian Railways. Microtex continues its commitment to research and develop for improving batteries as per customer need of railway diesel locomotive starting batteries with RDSO approved specifications.
