Overview

This HTS classification, 8602.10.00.00, specifically designates diesel-electric locomotives. These are self-propelled railway vehicles that generate electricity using a diesel engine to power electric motors for traction. They are designed for the primary purpose of hauling trains on standard gauge railways.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8602.90.00.00, is crucial. While 8602.90.00.00 covers all *other* rail locomotives, including steam, electric (powered by external sources), and hydraulic locomotives, 8602.10.00.00 is exclusively for those that employ a diesel engine as their prime mover to produce electricity for propulsion. The defining characteristic here is the combination of diesel power generation and electric traction.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 8602.10.00.00 relies solely on accurately identifying a locomotive as being diesel-electric in its operational design and primary function of rail traction. This includes both specialized freight locomotives and passenger locomotives that fit this technical definition.
