Progress Rail Services Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc., and any emissions data or climate commitments may be inherited from its parent organisation. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from Progress Rail Services Corporation. The absence of specific emissions figures and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. Given its affiliation with Caterpillar Inc., it is important to note that any climate commitments or emissions performance may be influenced by the broader corporate family’s sustainability goals. However, without specific data or targets from Progress Rail Services Corporation, a detailed assessment of its carbon footprint and climate commitments remains unclear.
