Emergency use case is not the same. The tug uses diesel for extended range tasks. The chairlift uses it during a power failure.
"Generators for long transit 2 x 300 kW"
"Fuel 9800 gal @95%"

- pests 3y agoYou are misquoting. It says the generators are for emergency use, allowing it to travel longer at slower speeds. No where does it say it uses it for extended range tasks. The way it reads to me is "in emergencies, the speed is reduced but range is increased" Not "we use it for everyday long range tasks"
- 1970-01-01 3y agoIt's not a misquote at all. It's a hybrid. If batteries are nearly flat, and there is an emergency, the tug will switch over to its diesel engine and power itself over to the emergency task.
- pests 3y agoSo it's used only for emergencies? I really don't know what we are debating at this point. Sounds like most of the time it's going to be fully electric.
