Double headed tunnel vehicles
Two-way electric vehicles for operations in confined spaces
Starting from the solid and versatile base of the ATX range, Alke has developed special electric vehicles with two cabins and dual direction of travel, designed to operate in complex environments such as tunnels, road and rail tunnels, as well as in small-diameter conduits. These vehicles, also available in a dual-mode road-rail version, represent a highly innovative solution for mobility and operational requirements in underground environments.
Main uses of the Alkè ATX4 double headed tunnel vehicles:
- Periodic inspections of road tunnels, railway tunnels and small-diameter pipes
- Transport of materials and equipment in underground environments or areas that are difficult to access
- Routine and extraordinary maintenance activities
- Logistical support for underground work teams
Two-cab vehicles with dual direction of travel
Alkè Research & Development department has designed and built a dual-mode vehicle that allows safe and fast driving in both directions, eliminating the need for turning manoeuvres that are often complicated or impossible in confined spaces. This feature makes it ideal for activities such as: periodic infrastructure inspections, transport of materials and equipment, maintenance operations, emergency interventions, evacuation of personnel or injured persons in the event of accidents. These bidirectional vehicles consist of two twin driver cabs, complete with accessories and equipment to ensure comfort and ergonomics for drivers and passengers. The vehicles have a large loading area up to 2,500 mm long, with a load capacity of up to 1,200 kg and a 360° lighting system for optimal visibility even in low light or emergency conditions. The battery pack can be removable, to extend the range and keep the vehicle operational 24 hours a day, or 23.6 kWh LiFePo4 lithium batteries can be fitted. An explosion-proof version is available for operation in areas with a risk of explosion.
