The trolley-assist system uses an overhead catenary line to transfer cleaner electric power directly to the wheels of a diesel-electric haul truck.
When the trolley-assist mode is engaged, the truck’s diesel engine is bypassed entirely. The benefits of this are impressive: up to a 70% reduction in fuel consumption, nearly 2X faster uphill speeds, increased haulage production, dramatically lower CO2 emissions, reduced noise, lower operating costs, and more.
Need more? The electrical power drawn to move every trolley-assist haul truck is also generated from a cleaner hydroelectric source.
