VMAC announced its collaboration with Miller Technology in integrating the VMAC VR70 air compressor system into Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series vehicles designed specifically for off-road and mining applications. This innovative partnership combines Miller Technology's expertise in robust mining vehicle resources with VMAC's industry-leading air compressor technology.
Miller Technology, a specialist mining equipment manufacturer, modifies service trucks and vehicles to meet the extreme demands of underground mining operations. Hugh McDermid, Vice President of Product and Business Development for Miller Technology, praised the partnership with VMAC. "Throughout the project, working with VMAC on the design and implementation has been fantastic. From concept development to after-sales service and support, the entire process has been seamless for Miller Technology."
To meet the CFM and PSI requirements to operate air starters on large diesel engines, Miller Technology turned to VMAC for a reliable and efficient answer. "At Miller Technology, we pride ourselves on offering the best possible products. Choosing VMAC as an integrated solution was an easy decision”, said McDermid. “We have worked with several other compressor manufacturers and haven't found anything that compares. VMAC's reputation for reliability and performance in mining environments is unmatched."
The Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series equipped with the VMAC VR70 system will be deployed globally for use in underground mining operations. The compressor will power a variety of essential equipment, including tire servicing tools, transfer pumps, lubrication packages, and air starters on heavy machinery.
Miller Technology is now exploring the integration of VMAC compressors in its electric vehicle (EV) Land Cruiser models. These EV versions, which have been operating successfully in the field since 2018, demonstrate Miller Technology's commitment to innovative services for mining operations.
Classic Motors, known for delivering high-performance products for the underground mining industry, is excited to introduce the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series equipped with the MSHA-approved Cummins engine and VMAC air compressor as an option for their customers.
