Normet SmartDrive® is a modular battery electric vehicle (BEV) architecture designed to optimize energy consumption and performance in underground mining and tunneling applications. Normet SmartDrive® equipment enable higher productivity, lower operating costs and most importantly - zero local emissions.
The Normet SmartDrive® architecture includes the latest Li-ion battery technology with a fast charging capability. High-torque electric motors provide instant torque and efficient operation without any local emissions. The fully reversible 4WD ensures safe and sure movement in difficult underground conditions.
There is two different SmartDrive architectures; Mining machines’ redundant BEV architecture is optimized for underground mining use and longer tramming, and tunneling machines’ BEV architecture is optimized for tunnelling and shorter tramming distances.
Built-in energy recuperation technology maximizes the storing of regenerative braking energy during downhill driving and deacceleration. In addition, efficient hydraulic dual-circuit oil immersed brakes provide additional braking power when it is needed.
Normet SmartDrive® equipment’s batteries can be charged at any time from typical underground AC-sockets. For demanding operations, optional fast-chargers can charge batteries quickly during operation or a break - there is no need for costly battery swapping. Normet equipment are fully compatible with the universal CCS fast charging standard.
From our long experience, we know our customers challenges and the importance of reliability. Normet SmartDrive® has industrial grade components and redundant design for maximum availability.
