And even more important to keep the environment in focus: the track motors will produce enough energy to run the tiller motor when driving downhill, with the result of having the diesel engine on idle or at least close to idle. The same principles will be valid for the winch motor. Everything who is hydraulic today will be replaced with electrical motors, except for the hydraulic system to control the equipment carriers. It will still be hydraulical to keep the feeling and motion of the blade and rear carrier as today. The second benefit is that the electrical motor will produce high torque from the very beginning, where the hydraulic motor only gives maximum torque after a while. Weight is not a subject at the moment, but its not unlikely that the weight will be reduced as the development continues. A fuel consumption around 15 litres an hour is expected. :) It will probably be put into commercial service around 2012 when the new EURO exhaust gas level regulations will be effective for snowgroomers. | Kommentert av: Ole Kristoffer Hole Olsen
