Haul Trucks
Medha focuses exclusively on zero-emission vehicles in the mining sector. We perform the powertrain and battery sizing design analysis to meet operational needs, as well as design, manufacture and collaborate and build systems to integrate the zero emission kits in to OEM vehicle body.
Haul trucks that operate in a surface mine to carry ore, coal, overburden can be broadly classified as per below from a Battery Electric perspective.
(i) 90 t to approx. 136 t having Diesel mechanical propulsion
(ii) 136 t to 275 t having Diesel electric propulsion, and
(iii) Ultra haul trucks: 275 t and above having Diesel electric propulsion
Medha’s electric powertrain and energy storage system kit caters to the full spectrum of sizes, variance and capacity of the above mining vehicles.
Medha undertakes Battery Electric conversions of existing mining vehicles as well. We customize the zero-emission conversion to bespoke needs of the customer. Customers can be rest assured of the success and satisfaction of the conversion as we are both the manufacturer of the electric powertrain and the integrator as well.
Ultra haul Trucks
Ultra haul trucks weigh 275 t and above, and traditionally has Diesel electric propulsion. Medha’s breakthrough combo Torque-Power motor is designed to revolutionise the Ultra Haul space. While the torque motor provide initial high torque along with the power motor, it eases of once the truck is in motion to minimise the power consumption which is critical in conserving energy stored in battery.
Dump Trucks
Dump trucks are usually used in quarries to carry payload and have Diesel-Mechanical propulsion. Their payload capacity vary from 35 t to 70 t.
Medha’s electric powertrain and energy storage system kit caters to the full spectrum of sizes and capacity of the Dump trucks. In the case of conversion of an existing vehicle, both diesel power source and mechanical shaft will be replaced while undergoing Battery Electric Conversion. Medha has successfully converter Dump trucks up to 70 t that is scalable to higher tonnages.
Road Train
Medha’s pedigree on electric multiple units and distributed locomotive control in the rollingstock space translates to application for electric road trains. The electric power train will be distributed across the train consist without compromising on the load carrying capacity.
