Efficiency of mine dump trucks with electric and mechanical drives for the conditions of the Udachny quarry

Abstract

The trend prevailing in recent decades in the development of quarry road transport is to increase the load capacity of machines and their reliability in order to reduce the cost of transportation. However, as machine parameters increase, limitations on certain components arise. In recent years, the machines with load capacity of 216 tons with electric drive have appeared. Due to the application of original technical solutions, more advanced alloys, new designs of bearings, braking systems and electronic devices, a family of heavy-duty dump trucks with mechanical drive with a maximum payload capacity of 217 tons has been created.
