Power Drives has found a niche in the locomotive industry with our engineered systems such as the Powerhouse™ and Diesel Dehydrator. We help in meeting federal regulations by reducing emissions as well as noise and fuel cost. Not only do we assist in EPA compliance, but our engineered systems save your operation money.
In addition to engineered systems, we provide parts and accessories such as fuel hose, water lines, sander hose and more.
The PowerHouse™ is a revolutionary US EPA SmartWay verified idle reduction technology that significantly decreases the energy wasted through idling. It immediately delivers the benefits of increased fuel savings, reduced noise and 90% emission reduction. It heats and circulates water or coolant through the locomotive engine block and cooling system to maintain a temperature of above 100°F, even in the coldest of temperatures. All models are available with remote monitoring capabilities.
Air plays an integral role in various locomotive systems. Compressed air controls brakes, shutters, bellows and return ducts. PDI has the replacement components needed for these systems to run properly, as well as filtration systems to remove water and contaminants to ensure the health and efficiency of these systems.
Diesel fuel is the driving force behind a locomotive. Proper care of diesel fuel is essential to the overall performance of a locomotive, and cuts down on maintenance costs. From our patent pending Diesel Dehydrator system that strips water and particulate out of diesel fuel, to the fuel filter elements we created in conjunction with Schroeder Industries, to our fuel filter canisters and lids, we create various engineered products that protect and support locomotive fuel systems.
With after hours accessibility, Power Drives is here for you anytime you have an urgent job -- whether it's right at closing or before the sun comes up. While we hope you are never in an emergency situation, we understand that things happen, and we're here to help you get back on track.
Strength of materials and durability is important in every industry. When you work with Power Drives, you will always receive products made of materials that can stand up to the job.
PDI’s experienced and skilled engineers and technicians have the material and application knowledge to ensure you receive the proper products for the job, every time. You can count on our team for the industry knowledge you need, whether for a project or single part.
Our management system certification is broken out into two parts: ISO 9001, which defines requirements for an effective quality management system (QMS), and IATF 16949, which defines the QMS standards specifically for the Automotive industry. We are dually certified.
