    Exciting collaboration alert! Dayton Phoenix Group and Sigma Powertrain have joined forces to create a robust 1700 HP (1.3 Mw) motor tailored for use with Sigma’s innovative all-electric 5-Speed TERRAMAX gearbox. This dynamic duo is specifically crafted for heavy-duty applications, such as powering 100-250 Ton mining haul trucks with precision. Key Highlights: - Seamless integration: Designed to effortlessly bolt onto the axle/differential housing and nestle with the rear suspension of CAT 777/785 or equivalent models like the Komatsu HD1500. - Performance prowess: In a CAT 785 setup, the motor/transmission combo showcases impressive capabilities: - Conquer a 30% grade under continuous power at a maximum Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 250 Tons. - Achieve speeds of 56 Kph at peak power up a 10% grade at max GVW of 250 Tons. - Cruise at 87 Kph (unloaded) under continuous power on a 0% grade. The TERRAMAX boasts Sigma Powertrain’s cutting-edge e-clutch technology, delivering unparalleled power density, efficiency, and durability. This translates into a rugged and high-performance powertrain solution that fits snugly within CAT 777 and CAT 785 models, ensuring reliability and efficiency. Noteworthy Features: - Extended service life: Engineered for a 30,000-hour service cycle, doubling the industry standard of 15,000 hours. - Versatile application: The e-Axle supports both Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) and serial hybrid configurations, offering flexibility and adaptability for diverse needs. Join us at the DPG booth during the Electric Mine Conference in Santiago, Chile from May 13-15, 2025, and witness "The Next" in cutting-edge powertrain technology.

  • As CSX modernizes its SD70 locomotives, Dayton-Phoenix Group is proud to contribute cutting-edge solutions that enhance durability, efficiency, and reliability in rail operations. One key upgrade? Our Electric Auxiliary Generator Blower Upgrade — designed to improve locomotive performance by disconnecting the blower from the driveshaft and replacing it with a robust electric motor, reducing mechanical strain and improving system durability. This setup also integrates seamlessly with a battery charger system, enhancing overall operational efficiency. This solution features: 🔹Single-speed motor design for simplified installation, avoiding complex control modifications. 🔹Reduced in-rush current (under 900 amps) to mitigate power spikes, enhancing reliability and component longevity. 🔹Optimized motor rating at 90 HP with an RPM of 2600, aligning closely with original specifications while using existing infrastructure like the AUX GEN stand and blower wheel. Railroads like CSX implementing this cost-effective upgrade are already seeing improved reliability and reduced engine failures due to blower issues — all while keeping repair costs in check.
