Who We Are
For more than half a century, Electro-Motive diesels have hauled
freight and passengers, powered ships, and generated electricity
for over 100 countries around the globe. Our products are built
to last, and to outperform the competition.
EMD products have performed in nearly every imaginable condition
- from the sands of the Sahara, to the heights of the Andes, to
the demanding grades of the Powder River Basin. With that performance,
we've not only helped our customers achieve their goals, but we've
also earned a reputation for quality, service and innovation.
Today, EMD is the world's largest builder of diesel-electric
locomotives for all commercial railroad applications: intercity
passenger, commuter, freight, switching, industrial and mining.
The company's headquarters, engineering facilities and parts-manufacturing
operations are located in LaGrange, Illinois, just west of Chicago.
Final assembly is conducted at EMD's state-of-the-art plant at London,
Ontario, from which EMD products are exported to customers around
the world.
EMD is also a global provider of diesel
power engines for marine propulsion, offshore and land based
oil well drilling rigs, and stationary power generation. Electro-Motive
is the only diesel engine manufacturer of its size to have produced
more than 70,000 engines. This success stems from product reliability,
serviceability, load acceptance capability, low operating costs
and ease of maintenance with standardized components.
EMD engages in a lifelong relationship with its customers and offers
a complete line of value-added services
to enhance the performance of its products. The equipment management
and maintenance services offered by EMD set industry standards for
service excellence. Through technological advancements and customer-focused
solutions, EMD customers achieve new levels of availability, reliability
and asset utilization.
Listening to and supporting customers, pursuing continuous improvement,
and building on a reputation for manufacturing excellence, EMD
and its employees look forward to their next quarter-century of
innovation and service to the fast-changing global railroad and
power products industries.
