The Evolution Series is a line of diesel locomotives built by GE Transportation Systems (now owned by Wabtec), initially designed to meet the U.S. EPA's Tier 2 locomotive emissions standards that took effect in 2005. The line is the direct successor to the GE Dash 9 Series. The first pre-production units were built in 2003.
In 2016, transportation became the leading source of greenhouse gas emissions (28.5%), exceeding electricity generation (28.4%). [80] In a report conducted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency , an amount of 1.8 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide was emitted by the transportation sector in 2019.
The new SAE J1711 standard for measuring the exhaust emissions and fuel economy of hybrid electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids was approved in July 2010. The recommended procedures for PHEVs were revised at Argonne National Laboratory , and EPA's new regulation to define PHEV fuel economy reporting protocol is expected to be based on SAE J1711.
