Rail vehicles are designed to last longer and operate more efficiently.
RaulHaul vehicles are configurable to the duty cycle. Change power supply, fuel types and load capacity.
MINE HAULAGE Conceptual use case
ORE HAUL ROUTE - Mountain Satellite Pit to Process Area
Haul Route
- 12 year pit life
- 40 km return duty cycle
- 12 million tonnes per annum
- loaded downhill: 4 to 12% grades
Key Considerations
- severe winter operating conditions
- need for full onboard power redundancy
- no access to grid power or renewables
Solution
- battery diesel electric hybrid
- 120 tonne carrying capacity per car
- 550kWh battery + 225 hp diesel electric
- remotely operated
VALUE INDICATED
- 95% reduction in diesel consumed
- 45% operating savings
- 90%+ reduced GHG's
RHT.m1 Battery Forward Hybrid
This duty cycle required an RHT rail ore car capable of:
- harvesting energy on downhill braking
- operating 100% on onboard backup power if required
- future semi-autonomous operation
MINE HAULAGE Conceptual use case
ORE HAUL ROUTE - Flat land satellite pit to process area
Haul Route
- 7 year pit life
- 60 km return duty cycle
- 5 million tonnes per annum
- flat terrain
Key Considerations
- extensive foliage, wildlife, camps
- slow operating speed & auto-stop
- access to grid power with renewables
- need for power redundancy
Solution
- battery plug-in hybrid w/alt engine
- 120 tonne capacity per car
- 550kWh battery + 50 hp alt engine
- remotely operated
VALUE INDICATED
- 40%+ reduced GHG's (grid has renewables)
- 60%+ energy cost savings
- 28% operating cost savings
RHT.m1 Battery Plug-in Hybrid
This duty cycle required an RHT rail ore car capable of:
- charging in 4 hours during daily ops shutdown
- operating 100% on onboard backup power if required
- future semi-autonomous operation
