Abstract Development of locomotive and advancement of rail road transportation is important for reducing emissions and becoming less dependent on conventional fossil fuels. Utilization of available alternative fuels such as methanol, DME and biodiesel can resolve energy crises in the foreseeable future. Effective use of exhaust heat recovery can be helpful in increasing overall efficiency and power generation. After-treatment devices are now a necessity to meet the upcoming emission norms for the rail road sector. For meeting the challenges of energy and environment, there is a need for advanced technological development in locomotive and rail road transportation sector.
