Two four-wheel-drive, articulated, face-haulage vehicles designed and fabricated under a previous government sponsored program were fitted with permissible diesel engines. The vehicles were originally designed for both increased productivity and as test vehicles for steam engine power. The vehicles, with diesel engines installed, were evaluated under operating conditions in an underground coal mine. Results were favorable and demonstrate capabilities in very harsh conditions involving steeply pitching coal seams.
