Even more news from the MINExpo show floor: Rolls-Royce has teamed with Flanders Electric to unveil a retrofit concept to hybridize haul trucks and reduce emissions by up to 30%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design integrates mtu engines, batteries and hybrid control systems alongside drive train solutions from Flanders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The companies\u2019 memorandum of understanding (MOU) announced during the show covers the development of the unit for wide range of mining applications via a scalable retrofitting kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe mining truck hybrid concept recovers braking energy, using the mtu EnergyPack battery system \u2026 [with] energy \u2026 then fed back to power the wheel motors, allowing the diesel engine to be downsized,\u201d Rolls-Royce said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe smaller engine reduces fuel consumption and C02 emissions by up to 30%, helping mining customers to achieve their emissions reduction targets, while optimizing their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company said the hybrid concept also includes the DC\/DC converters which interface the battery system with the DC link of the truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modular system has the capability to be scaled and utilized anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mining, Oil and Gas Business Division Vice President Scott Woodruff noted both companies will be leveraging their extensive experience of hybrid solutions that aim to save fuel and reduce the C02 footprint of mining trucks as well as optimizing vehicle power performance and efficiency, enabling more climate-friendly and safer mining operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are excited to shape the mining industry\u2019s sustainable future together with Flanders and further leverage our advanced hybrid technologies, which are already proven in the rail industry. Together we will offer our customers integrated, future-oriented, hybrid solutions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added John Oliver, CEO and board chairman of Flanders: \u201cImproving our customers\u2019 operations, lowering their costs while enhancing their energy footprint, is a win for the mining industry and for the environment as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rolls-Royce said hybrid solutions are already part of the mtu portfolio; the mtu Hybrid PowerPack will soon enter rail service in the UK, and the drive solution and its mtu batteries \u2013 which can also be used on hybrid mining trucks \u2013 offer safety and high performance as well as reliability and maintenance friendliness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
