LocoWatch™ is our built-in telematics system, now fitted as standard on all suitable locomotives. It gives operators live data on over 40 key performance metrics — including fuel use, battery levels, operating hours and faults, all in real time.

Designed to cut downtime and operating costs, LocoWatch™ helps plan maintenance based on actual use, not guesswork. Operators can access the data through a personalised dashboard, and we also provide a free monthly report with key stats like distance travelled, emissions saved, and more.
