There is 1 huge advantage to AC that no one has pointed out yet...
100% torque is availible 100% of the time.
The torque does not drop off as speed increases. You get higher loaded travel speeds without having to use huge inefficient motors.
The NACCO lineup was supposed to be 100% AC by Jan 06, but that's been pushed back till June 06.
All we have right now is the 3 and 4 wheel sit downs and the 3 wheel stand up (HSD)
We will also be transitioning over to Inmotion controls supposedly.
Our new AC narrow isle trucks look pretty, but I'll reserve judgement until they are actually running around.
