Minautor

Man Vehicle Transporter

Introduction

The Minautor is an electric vehicle developed and built by Pedno. Available in two- and four-seat versions, it is designed to transport personnel and their tools in underground mines. It is powered by two powerful motors, each producing 10.5 kW.
Using electric vehicles in mines helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, making the process more environmentally friendly and offering better working conditions for operators. It also significantly reduces maintenance and fuel costs.

Features

Materials

The use of aluminum for the bodywork, cabin components, and secondary structure significantly reduces the weight of the vehicle.

FOPS-ROPS Steel Protection Structure

The steel structure of the Minautor is designed to meet FOPS-ROPS standards. The use of steel provides the structure with exceptional rigidity while allowing the vehicle to remain compact.

Braking System

The Minautor is equipped with disc brakes on all four wheels.

Spring-applied electromagnetic brakes, installed on the front and rear axle gearboxes, serve as parking brakes and integrated safety emergency brakes in the event of a failure in the vehicle’s electrical system.

The Minautor is also equipped with a dynamic braking system that uses the motors as electricity generators when the vehicle decelerates. The energy produced in this process recharges the batteries, improving range. The intensity of the dynamic braking is adjustable according to the user’s preferences and effectively helps control the vehicle’s speed when descending steep slopes. Additionally, this system can be configured to gradually stop the Minautor when the accelerator is released, virtually eliminating the need for mechanical brakes.

Cargo Space

The Minautor features a spacious rear bed, offering a practical and versatile cargo area. With a loading volume of 515 liters, it can easily accommodate a pallet. Its Line-X coating makes the cargo space extremely durable.

Motorization

Four-wheel drive is provided by two powerful three-phase electric motors, each delivering 10.5 kW of power and a maximum torque of approximately 58 Nm (43 lb-ft), for a total of 1,411 Nm (1,040 lb-ft) at each axle.
