The two new NG+D™ Systems represent the company’s first offering for electrical drive trucks. The company says that its EVO-MT 8300 System for the Komatsu 830 truck will be operating at a launch customer’s mine in the fourth quarter of this year. Additional Komatsu trucks with both the EVO-MT 8300 and EVO-MT 9300 Systems installed will be operating at other locations shortly thereafter.
“We are excited to announce two new mining products here at the High Horsepower Summit in Chicago. Our new EVO-MT 8300 and 9300 Systems for the Komatsu 830 and 930 trucks build upon our success to date and represent a significant technological advancement of our core MT product,” said Jason Green, company President. “We look forward to seeing the first Komatsu trucks operating with our launch customer later this year.”
As with the company’s other haul truck conversion offerings, the EVO-MT 8300 and 9300 systems are fully integrated solutions that include a proprietary onboard LNG fuel storage system, LNG vaporization and gas control, electronic control unit and NG+D™ engine controls and safety systems. The EVO-MT 8300 / 9300 Systems are offered with either 300 or 600 gallons of onboard LNG capacity depending on configuration. The new systems are designed for in field retrofit and will require about two days to install and commission.
