Joy Global to debut energy storage tech for hybrid mining vehicles
Joy Global is set to debut its Kinetic Energy Storage System (KESS), a battery technology for hybrid LHD loaders used in mining that need to cope with high payloads and difficult terrain. KESS is said to be capable of reducing fuel consumption by 30% by capturing and reutilising regenerated energy. Providing deep storage for regenerated energy, the technology also improves cycle times by reducing the effects of engine turbo lag. It is be released later this year at MINExpo 2016.
