Generic Lightweight Personnel Carriers for Pickup Trucks

Résumé
Develop lightweight aluminum or aluminum/steel personnel carriers for the mining industry that can perform to ISO3471 and ISO3449 standards on all brands of pickup trucks. The industry standard has been to use Toyota Landcruiser diesel trucks underground, but with the introduction of affordable electric trucks such as the Ford Lightening, there may be a move to other platforms as electrification becomes more common. TopROPS would like to start designing options for these vehicles before mines begin to deploy them so that we can offer a mature solution. These trucks present additional challenges over their diesel counterparts due to the weight of the batteries increasing the GVW. Increased GVW also increased the performance requirements

Description

Description (French)
Concevoir des véhicules de transport de personnel légers en aluminium ou en aluminium et acier pour l'industrie minière qui peuvent fonctionner selon les normes ISO3471 et ISO3449 sur toutes les marques de camionnettes. La norme de l'industrie a été d'utiliser des camions diesel Toyota Landcruiser sous terre, mais avec l'introduction de camions électriques abordables tels que le Ford Lightening, il pourrait y avoir une évolution vers d'autres plateformes à mesure que l'électrification devient plus courante. TopROPS aimerait commencer à concevoir des options pour ces véhicules avant que les mines ne commencent à les déployer, afin de pouvoir offrir une solution déjà à point. Ces camions présentent des défis supplémentaires par rapport à leurs homologues diesel en raison du poids des batteries qui augmente la masse totale en charge (MTC). L'augmentation de la MTC a également augmenté les exigences de rendement.
