In 2007, BEC unveiled its CoGeneration locomotives with up to 2,100 horsepower (1,600 kW), generated through the use of three low-emission diesel engines. The use of three clean-burning Tier-3 engines offers a "Power on Demand" feature where engines come on-line as power needs are realized. This feature minimizes emissions and fuel consumption. CoGeneration locomotives also offer the most advanced traction drive system. Equipped with individual, water-cooled IGBTs for each traction motor, this provides the highest rail adhesion.
Brookville currently manufactures equipment used in mining, tunneling, and industrial and switching applications and remanufactures streetcar equipment, such as the PCC streetcars for Route 15 in Philadelphia. In 2008, Brookville built its first road switchers for the Metro-North Railroad. The locomotives are given the model designation of BL20-GH.
Brookville also offers exhaust after treatments for its underground diesel locomotives that reduce emissions by 85%. BEC's Railwalker re-railing devices can also put its locomotives back on-track without the risk of injury to the operator.
On 14 September 2011, Brookville announced plans to develop a low-floor articulated tram.

Famous quotes containing the word products:
“Isn’t it odd that networks accept billions of dollars from advertisers to teach people to use products and then proclaim that children aren’t learning about violence from their steady diet of it on television!”
—Toni Liebman (20th century)
“But, most of all, the Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
