Very cool. The 798 rarely ceases to amaze me.

reupload i guess? the DET seems brilliant and really obvious, smaller and cheaper infrastructure, more flexibility in use whats the downside though can it still output 5mw like the overhead wires? is there safety concerns with it being low enough for trucks to impact with the live rails? does the different contact method limit the trucks speed? (being able to do 40km/h upgrade loaded is very important) either way you guys really need to stop producing mechanical drive trucks entirely, because barely any of your fleet has the electric drive capabilities to even use this system youre working on. every other ultra class haul truck on the market has been diesel electric for decades, komatsu and liebherr dont even produce mechanical diesel haul trucks anymore, why is cat so far behind everyone else?
