KOVATERA™ Announces the Launch of the KT 200e Electric Utility Vehicle

Building on its highly successful line of underground utility vehicles, Kovatera™ is pleased to announce the release of the KT200e. This new addition to the Kovatera™ line continues the rough, tough and purpose-built lineage of their diesel versions. In keeping with earlier models, the KT200e is not an adapted, converted or modified vehicle. It is purpose-built from the ground up using advanced technology and proven components resulting in a utility vehicle that outperforms the competition in all categories.

 

“We have recognized for some time that the demand for electric underground vehicles in the marketplace will continue to increase”, stated Will Gove, General Manager, “But we did not want to stray from the philosophy that has been at the core of our success…building equipment from the ground-up that meets the demands of the challenging underground working environment. And, as with previous models, these utility vehicles offer three times the economic life and twice the payload capacity of other marketplace offerings” In keeping with previous models, the KT200e offers a wide range of configurations

to meet customer specifications ranging from personnel carriers to specific job applications such as scissor lifts, aerial booms and wide range of options that can be bolted to the chassis.

 

“A major consideration was to ensure that this electric vehicle’s capability matches the requirements of the customer’s needs. A major feature of our battery options is to fit vehicle with a standard 44kwh battery, explains Gove. “With this configuration, we can offer customers a battery size and range that fits their needs without additional capital spend. If a longer range is required, we also offer a battery upgrade that doubles that range – giving the customer a range of 50 to 90Kms between charges.”

 

Battery life matches or exceeds the known economic life of the unit at seven to nine years. Charge time from dead flat is approximately 1.5 hrs with additional optional 25kW 600v on-board charger. “For customers who now use our popular UT99 diesel models, we offer a retrofit kit to economically convert them to electric. Either way, the customer benefits from our tested and proven chassis, components, configuration flexibility and service longevity that have made these utility vehicles an industry standard,” added Gove.

 

Kovatera™ will be at this year’s Prospectors and Developers Association Convention PDAC) in Toronto. Visit us at booth #6322N to find more about the Kovatera™ line of products.
