Kentus

Underground crew transport,
electrified.

Electric personnel carrier with supersized battery, engineered for hard-rock operators. Simple, reliable, repairable, while eliminating diesel emissions underground.

01 / The Problem

Ventilation is your largest underground cost.

Ventilation is the largest energy cost in a deep mine. The single biggest driver of that cost is clearing diesel particulate matter to regulatory limits. DPM is a Group 1 carcinogen, classified by IARC.

You move air to make diesel exhaust legal to breathe.

02 / The Vehicle

Kentus

Six crew underground. Fourteen with surface bed kit. One platform, two configurations, no compromises that matter to a mine engineer.

03 / Why Kentus

Boring is the
feature.

We argue these choices the way an engineer would. No marketing register. No exotic chemistry. No service-only-from-the-factory. Just the right engineering for a hard, dirty, regulated environment.

01 CSA M421

Built for underground

Designed against CSA M421 compliance path. Hard-rock underground geometry (decline grades, drift heights, refuge station access) drove the cabin specification.

02 Mean Time To Repair, minimized

Service-friendly by design

Drum brakes that seal against dust. Solid axles on leaves that absorb potholed floors. A millwright with a torque wrench can keep this vehicle running.

03 Vent kW, DPM, refrigeration load

Ventilation math, not hand-waving

Every Kentus displaces a diesel PC and its ventilation requirement. We provide a site-specific vent-load model with every quote, signed off by the mine engineer of record.

04 UG: 6 pax, Surface: up to 14 pax

One platform, two configurations

Six-crew enclosed cabin for underground duty. Surface kit adds 6–8 open-air bed seats for above-ground transport. Same powertrain, same pack, same service manual.

04 / Pilot Program

Engineered with
operators.

Kentus is one standard platform, built to clear real underground geometry. Tell us how your mine runs, the drifts, the grades, the shifts, the diesel you want gone, and we'll tell you straight whether it fits your operation and which configuration you'd run.
