Wabtec (NYSE: WAB), announced today it will supply Inner
Mongolia North Hauler Joint Stock Co., Ltd. (NHL), a leading mining
truck manufacturer in China, with 28 360-ton premium integrated
electric drive systems, to support the company’s 360T mining truck
contract with Yancoal in Australia. The systems will help Yancoal’s
mining fleet achieve increased productivity and speed on grade
performance and help reduce fuel costs and equipment wear.
“We are proud to partner with NHL and support their growth,”
said Bappa Banerjee, Wabtec’s General Manager of Mining Equipment.
“These integrated electric drive systems will improve the
performance of their mining trucks by reducing fuel costs and
increasing reliability, giving their customers a distinct
sustainable cost advantage over the service lifetime of their
trucks.”
“By combining NHL’s strong manufacturing capabilities with
Wabtec’s domain expertise in electric drive systems, we are well
positioned to improve capacity and efficiency for our customers,”
said Mr. Wu Qingfeng, General manager of NHL.
Wabtec’s integrated electric drive systems enable
1.4-million-pound mining trucks to carry a payload of up to 400
tons, the equivalent of 27 school buses. The systems help the
trucks achieve increased productivity and speed on grade
performance and help reduce fuel costs and equipment wear.
“Wabtec continues to work with our mining customers to improve
performance, reliability and lower costs, which is critical to
efficient and profitable operations throughout business cycles”
said Banerjee. “Our electric drive systems help mines get mineral
and energy resources out to the market safer, quicker and cheaper,
in a sustainable way.”
The drive systems will be delivered over the next three years
with an initial three units shipping to Australia in 2020.
