ELECTRIC DUMP TRUCK COLLABORATION
develop an electric rigid dump truck with customised on-board energy storage system. Using ABB’s innovative battery technology will enable trucks to transform from diesel to full electric operation. The electric vehicle draws the power needed from overhead catenary while simultaneously charging the on-board energy storage system. The use of ABB’s high

power and long-life energy storage systems will reduce the vehicle’s curb weight and lower the initial, as well as lifecycle costs of the vehicle. In-motion charging eliminates recharging stops, which increases the vehicle’s operational efficiency
BB and Hitachi Construction Machinery have signed a collaboration agreement to
and productivity. When travelling downhill, regenerative braking allows the energy storage to recharge by converting mechanical energy into usable electrical energy – improving the overall efficiency of the vehicle. There is growing trend within the mining industry to electrify mining
machinery to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. Mine operators are looking to technology leaders to drive electrification and accelerate the process. Because of the need to reduce mining costs and increase productivity at mining sites, efficient technology must be developed to contribute to the reduction of CO2
while
staying competitive and ensuring performance at the same time. “The strengths and
knowledge of both companies will be used to realise the early development of battery electric rigid dump trucks”, said Sonosuke Ishii, Senior Vice President at Hitachi Construction Machinery.”

INNOVATIVE PROPULSION SOLUTION FOR MINING MARKETS
solutions purpose-built for the global construction and mining markets.
A
llison Transmission has launched the TerraTran, its latest innovation in propulsion
A variant of Allison’s 4000 Series transmission, the TerraTran is purpose built for off-highway applications such as mobile crane, articulated dump truck and wide-body mining dump trucks, with enough application flexibility to enable Allison to target multiple additional on-highway opportunities. The new solution was developed based on customer feedback, which indicated a need for the proven reliability and durability of Allison’s 4000 Series transmission, but with increased horsepower, torque and GVW capability, while also adding fast reverse capability.
TerraTran has maximum power
capability of up to 800hp, and torque capability up to 3,025 lbs./ft., dependent upon the application in which it is deployed. It also features seven forward and two reverse speeds. With the additional fast reverse, TerraTran delivers improved productivity and optimised vocational efficiency. Field tests conducted over approximately two years have demonstrated that it delivers enhanced drivability, gradeability and manoeuvrability under demanding operating conditions. Allison is also pleased to announce
that in partnership with Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group (XCMG) headquartered in Xuzhou, China, the TerraTran will be launched first in XCMG’s all-terrain crane application.
