Electrical Rotating Generator for Locomotive Market Report 2024

The electrical rotating generator for locomotive market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.08 billion in 2023 to $3.24 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the expansion of freight and passenger rail services, heightened focus on sustainability and reducing carbon footprints, increased industrial activity, and the limited availability of electric infrastructure in various countries.

The electrical rotating generator for the locomotive market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.98 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including growing demand for rail transport, urbanization and population growth, continued use of diesel locomotives, increasing adoption of hybrid locomotives, and rising investments in high-speed rail projects. Key trends expected in the forecast period include technological advancements, particularly in electrical engineering and hybrid/electric propulsion systems. There will also be a significant focus on infrastructure investments to support rail networks and operations, as well as increasing collaborations and partnerships within the rail industry to foster innovation and development of new technologies.

Investments in high-speed rail projects are on the rise, driven by urbanization, congestion in current transportation networks, and the demand for faster intercity travel options. This increased investment is expected to fuel growth in the market for electrical rotating generators used in locomotives. These generators play a crucial role in improving energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact through technological advancements and enhanced operational capabilities. For example, Network Rail's spending on the mainline rail network in the UK increased by approximately $0.95 billion USD in the fiscal year spanning April 2021 to March 2022, reaching a total of $14.55 billion USD, underscoring the trend driving the electrical rotating generator market for locomotives.

Leading companies in this market are focusing on developing advanced products such as traction generators to boost efficiency, lower emissions, and enhance overall locomotive performance. Traction generators are specialized electrical generators designed for locomotives and other rail vehicles. They convert mechanical energy from diesel engines or electric motors into electrical energy to power traction motors. For instance, TMH-Elektrotekh of Novocherkassk in Russia introduced two prototypes of the Type GTSN-3150 traction synchronous generator for the new Class 3TE30G mainline freight locomotive in August 2023. This generator boasts higher power output compared to its predecessor (GTSN-2800) and is designed to power traction motors, auxiliary systems, and start diesel engines.

In January 2021, Alstom SA, a French rolling stock manufacturer, acquired Bombardier Transportation AB, a Germany-based rail transport company, to strengthen its position as a global leader in smart and sustainable mobility. This strategic move aims to leverage synergies between the companies to innovate and meet the evolving needs of the rail market, including advancements in electrical rotating generators for locomotives.

An electrical rotating generator for locomotives refers to a device that converts mechanical energy from the locomotive's engine into electrical energy. These generators are essential for ensuring efficient locomotive operation and providing power for propulsion, as well as for passenger or freight services.

The main types of electrical rotating generators used in locomotives include electrically excited synchronous generators, permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMG), and induction generators. Electrically excited synchronous generators (EESGs) utilize an electric current to create the rotor's magnetic field, rather than relying on permanent magnets. They are versatile and suitable for various locomotive applications such as traction generators, auxiliary generators, and axle generators. These generators can be integrated into different locomotive configurations, including conventional diesel-electric engines, power packs mounted beneath locomotives, and hybrid-electric models featuring battery energy storage, available for both new installations and retrofitting projects.
