"essentially eliminated the need for 80_inches of (locomotive)_cab"
John L. Flannery - General Electric Company - Chairman & CEO (on page 3 of the transcript) - "The GE of the future is going to be a more focused industrial company. It'll leverage a lot of really game-changing capabilities in digital, in additive, in industrial research.

Now at the system level, I'm using a locomotive, a Transportation advantage example. One of the big reliability issues on these locomotives and something that takes a lot of cab space is the cooling system, the radiators. Big fans, big radiators. We've redesigned the radiator and fan system using additive. We've essentially eliminated the need for 80 inches of cab in the back of the locomotive. So we freed up space, an 80-inch space in the cab to do whatever you want with. The engineers in Transportation are now thinking that they can use those 80 inches for battery storage and enable a hybrid locomotive, which by itself, may be as much as 23% fuel savings, all enabled because we can give them back that footprint as a result of the efficiency of additive at the system level on a locomotive.
