US RAILWAYS™ is committed to leading the transition toward a zero-emission railroad ecosystem, transforming how railroads are built, welded, inspected, maintained, and operated. Through electric hi-rail vehicles, battery-powered construction and maintenance machinery, zero-emission welding systems, advanced wired, wireless and inductive charging, and intelligent semi-autonomous technologies, our mission is to reduce diesel dependence and ultimately achieve 100% zero-emission railroad construction, inspection, operations, and maintenance while improving safety, efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.

Zero-Emission Railroad Construction, Inspection, Operations & Maintenance

Our group is leading the transition toward a fully zero-emission railroad ecosystem, developing and deploying next-generation electric chassis and specialized EV platforms for railroad construction, inspection, operations, and maintenance.

Our capabilities include a wide range of zero-emission railroad construction trucks, electric hi-rail vehicles, maintenance equipment, and semi-autonomous inspection vehicles designed specifically for demanding rail environments.

Our long-term vision extends beyond individual vehicles. We are working toward an integrated zero-emission railway system in which trains, rolling stock, construction equipment, inspection vehicles, maintenance machinery, and O&M fleets operate together as one clean, efficient, technologically advanced ecosystem.

By combining electrification, automation, advanced inspection technology, and purpose-built railroad engineering, we are helping railroads and transit agencies reduce emissions while improving safety, reliability, productivity, and lifecycle operating efficiency.

ZERO-EMISSION FLASH-BUTT WELDING

Our unique DC-to-DC welding system draws power directly from the Class 8 EV batteries and delivers it directly to the flash-butt welding head controller, providing clean, efficient, high-power DC welding with no AC inverters, rectifiers, converters, or diesel generators required.

E-HI-RAIL™ EV — ZERO-EMISSION RAILROAD FLEET

E-HI-RAIL™ EV is our next-generation fleet of purpose-built, zero-emission railroad vehicles and machines, including thermite welding trucks, flash-butt welding trucks, material handlers, track and OCS inspection vehicles, third-rail inspection and maintenance trucks, signal and traction-power vehicles, construction trucks, and semi-autonomous inspection platforms. Built on advanced electric chassis and engineered specifically for rail environments, the E-HI-RAIL™ EV platform brings construction, inspection, operations, and maintenance into a clean, quiet, efficient, and fully integrated zero-emission railroad ecosystem.

Electrifying the Future of Rail

AMERICAN RAILWAYS™, a US RAIL™ Company is an original manufacturer and integrator of EV chassis, E-HI-RAIL™ vehicles, and advanced train and rail charging systems. We design, manufacture, customize, and integrate electric chassis for railroad applications, including the installation of hi-rail gear, specialized railroad equipment, onboard power systems, and mission-specific tools.

We are taking the leap toward a seamless, unified, 100% zero-emission rail ecosystem—connecting electric trains, E-HI-RAIL™ trucks, maintenance vehicles, and railroad equipment through a common clean-energy infrastructure.

Our charging technologies include wired high-power charging, wireless charging, and inductive charging systems engineered specifically for railroad and transit applications. From the train to the hi-rail vehicle and supporting equipment, our goal is to electrify the entire railway worksite and eliminate dependence on diesel-powered support equipment.
