LEADER®: Saves Fuel
LEADER®’s capability to model and prompt for Asynchronous Distributed Power (ADP) provides a material improvement in fuel savings by putting power where it’s needed.

As a train crests a hill, the force of gravity pulls the rear of the train backward while it pushes the front end forward. ADP allows the front of the train to use gravity to its full advantage, while supplying the power to the rear cars to climb the hill.
LEADER with ADP chooses to use the most efficient power first. When a train is on flat ground less power is needed, and fuel consumption is reduced by temporarily idling unneeded locomotives.

In The Future
When PTC comes online, LEADER® users will not need to buy new hardware, merely upgrade to full PTC capability.
LEADER AutoPilot® will operate under all the safety umbrellas currently being developed – PTC, CNTC or ATO – providing full train control, including air brakes. AutoPilot will improve pacing – increasing network efficiency, saving even more fuel by avoiding hurry-up-and-wait events and shifting the locomotive engineer’s focus from train operation to safety.
LEADER (Locomotive Engineer Display and Event Recorder) data can be queried using a dashboard and used to improve the performance of drivers and schedulers.
