FEATURES
RAPID CHARGING
Hybrid Charging System - Off-board DC fast charging and on-board AC charging delivers up to 10 hours of operation on just an 18-minute charge, thanks to a recharge rate over five times faster than competitors.
Energy Recovery
Dynamic Breaking - Prevents unwanted accelerations and maximizes range by converting excess kinetic energy to electric power. Regenerative braking can extend operational time by up to 2 hours, reducing the need for extra charging.
OPTIMISED BATTERY LIFE
Industry-Leading Battery Management System (BMS) - Thermal management system and integrated battery monitoring provides superior battery safety and performance. Maintaining battery temperature within a narrow optimal range extends battery life to 10 years, reducing long-term costs.
Real-Time Insights
Remote Monitoring and Data-Driven Performance - Telemetry diagnostics are data logged on board and transmitted to a control room through wi-fi or LTE networks. The data transfer is bidirectional, enabling onboard software to be updated remotely from a control room or mobile tablet.
Enhanced Protection
Superior Safety - Featuring ROPS/FOPS Level 2 integrated into the cabin structure, Relay offers protection against rollovers and falling objects. The design also streamlines the vehicle profile for better maneuverability in tight underground spaces.
Person-Centric Design
Built For Comfort - The ergonomic design enhances driver comfort. With reduced vibration, quieter operation and an intuitive control layout, operators experience less strain during long shifts, improving productivity and reducing the risk of operator error.
Carrying Capacity
Heavy Duty Payload - The dual cab configuration can accommodate 4 mining equipped adults comfortably and can carry a 2 ton payload. 1,550Nm of torque is available from the motor.
Revolutionary Tire Design
The Relay tire design features 22 replaceable sections, allowing for quick replacement of damaged portions without changing the entire tire, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. The unique design reduces vibration, improves operator comfort and enhances traction across terrains.
