Akumulatorowy ciągnik podwieszany GAD-1 z innowacyjnym napędem jako alternatywa rozwiązań z napędem spalinowym

GAD-1 suspended locomotive with battery electric drive equipped with the batteries of New generation can be advantageous alternative to diesel transportation machines. It can significantly improve air quality in underground mine workings, where in the result of increasing number of diesel drives in suspended monorails and floor-mounted railways the workers are exposed to high concentration of exhaust gases and generated heat. The locomotive can also generate pulling force in rack-and-pinion and friction drive system. Design of GAD-1 battery locomotive together with electric system as well as the method of drive replacement are discussed.
