produced 2250 hp for the GP30.\u00a0 They also made several improvements on the GP20 design meant to match the U25B - a sealed airtight long hood, a single central air intake, and easier access for maintenance.\u00a0 These changes required more space behind the cab, and this was achieved vertically by raising the height of the locomotive, providing space for the central air system, the turbocharger, and electrical cabinet.\u00a0 This increased height meant a new body was required.\u00a0 EMD wanted the new body to be modern and updated, so the GM Automotive Styling Center created the
