Dillon: Komatsu recently announced its
Power Agnostic Platform at the Mining Expo, and that's exciting. 他们正在开发下一代运输卡车,使用传统的柴油发动机,有可能使用HVO,但以后很容易适应其他能源. So instead of getting a remanufactured diesel, you could put in a battery pack that uses the latest technology. 也, 如果一个矿井经过几年的开发,并且有坡道和手推车辅助所需的连接, they can add a
trolley system to that truck, supporting electrification.
这个想法是,如果你今天买了一辆卡车,它是未来的保障. As new technologies become available, 您可以采用它们而无需再投资于另一项重要资产.
我们的另一个合作伙伴康明斯也在探索可持续采矿解决方案. Even though they were born on diesel and are over 100 years old, 他们明白他们需要创新,甚至收购了一些在替代燃料方面有专长的公司. 这让我感到乐观,他们不只是一家墨守成规的传统柴油公司.
At SMS Equipment, 我们已经成为部署和支持这些技术的专家,并确保客户了解这些技术及其需求. 我们协助客户为他们的运营做出最佳选择.
