Intramotev is building battery-electric railcars that make rail faster and more flexible. It’s not change for change’s sake — it’s a safer and more efficient way forward.
A Better Way
From A to B
Move your world, one railcar at a time
We think big by thinking small, solving efficiency problems that expand and ripple throughout operations. With technologies that can help you transform your operations, we’re rethinking rail with solutions precisely engineered to your logistical needs. See what Intramotev’s products can do for you.
Revitalize your rolling stock
Transform any car or commodity type into a battery-electric self-propelled railcar with the TugVolt retrofit kit. See zero-emissions freight in motion with 30-80% reduction in total transportation costs compared to trucking.

Built for extreme environments
| Tractive Effort | Pulling Capacity | Speed | Range | Recharging | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TugVolt | 16,400 lbf | 1,640 Tons | 11 Railcars | Up to 25mph | Up to 180mi | 0.5 mi/min |
| TugVolt + | 35,000 lbf | 3,500 Tons | 24 Railcars | Up to 45mph | Up to 180mi | 1.85 mi/min |
Power new movement
Build out a hybrid unit train with the battery-electric, self-propelled ReVolt railcar. Recycle waste energy with regenerative braking to reduce diesel consumption and free up distributed power locomotives.
Smart energy recycling

Revolutionary ideas at work
Carmeuse Cedarville Mine
Helping Carmeuse Americas transport materials safely, quickly, and efficiently
When Carmeuse Americas wanted to cut their fuel costs, they turned to Intramotev for help. Now they operate the world’s first independently driven railcar in revenue service.
Assembled a six-car consist of three TugVolts and three traditional railcars to transport materials without the need for a diesel locomotive.
Deployed self-propelled railcars with human-dispatched control to start, launching the world’s first independently driven railcar in revenue service.
Reducing diesel fuel consumption by 3,000 gallons per year and delivering an estimated $300,000 in operating expense savings.
