Thread: Electric haul truck never needs recharging

Great idea. Small mine site though

45t is Goanna / Moxy territory. When the go 785 or larger that will be a potential game changer.

A bit like the rope haulage used on a few eighteenth century railways with similarly fortunately sited mines.

Loaded wagons going downhill pulled the empty ones uphill - same principle, just using batteries and electric motors instead of rope. Unfortunately, inapplicable for most mines (and other uses).
