According to the press release, this genset locomotive also includes regenerative braking; would that make it a combination genset-hybrid? I assume there is a bank of batteries that stores the energy created by braking, and that energy can then be reused as traction power. I think this is similar to what GE is doing with their hybrid Evolution locomotive.
