Progress Rail Locomotive Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc., which may influence its climate commitments and emissions reporting. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from Progress Rail, it is important to note that emissions data and performance metrics may be inherited from its parent company, Caterpillar Inc. This relationship suggests that any climate initiatives or targets may align with those set by Caterpillar, which operates under its own sustainability framework. As of now, Progress Rail has not publicly disclosed any specific initiatives or commitments related to carbon emissions reduction. The lack of data highlights the need for transparency and accountability in corporate climate strategies, particularly in the rail industry, where emissions management is crucial for sustainability efforts.
