German materials handling manufacturer Scharf have developed a German engineered battery powered all electric Toyota cruiser ute.

Launched at the BAUMA trade fair in Munich this month the vehicle has been earmarked for sale to the Mining Industry globally including Australia.

Known for their high quality, robust underground Monorail materials handling systems and Longwall Monorail systems, Scharf have previously included electric locomotives, mules and shunt trolley drive systems. So electric systems are not new to them.

The Toyota is a departure from rail mounted systems, but complements the range of battery powered electric mining vehicles offered by Scharf for underground mining applications manufactured by their plant in Canada.
