“The Commander NXT was designed with the customer in mind and represents the future in railcar mobilization,” said Raj Gupta, President and CEO – Maintenance of Way, Wabtec. “Packed with a narrower frame and an advanced rail wheel stability system, the NXT allows for efficient navigation of challenging rail, tunnels, and sharp curves, without compromising on power or performance. This capability helps our customers efficiently and reliably run their railyard operations.”

This new railcar mover also features the patented ShuttleLaunch technology, a cutting-edge solution specifically engineered to optimize tractive effort, substantially reduce wheel slipping, and extend tire life, marking a notable advancement in the industry.

Each model in the NXT series boasts cutting-edge features, including an advanced joystick operation for precision control, a dual-rail wheel design enabling navigation of tighter curves, and a proven AAR coupler and rubber tire drive system. These enhancements collectively elevate the functionality and efficiency of the NXT series.
