The UTS and the Clean Rig Power team have developed a novel solution to allow Class 8 well service rigs to become zero emission fully electric vehicles with improved safety and controls.  The team has implemented a 470HP (350kW) electric motor and 4-speed Automated Manual transmission to replace the 13-15L diesel engine.  The zero-speed high-torque response, and full range complete torque and speed control of the electric motor, will allow the Clean Rig Power vehicle to control the drawworks without relying solely on clutches and brakes.

And with regenerative braking, the energy from lowering pipe into the well utilized. saved. Similar to the traction system, the hydraulic system is speed and torque controlled for precise control over hydraulic actuators and accurate setting of torque on the tongs. Finally, with DC Quick Charging capabilities, connections to the well, a home base charger, or even a mobile charging station, give the operator versatility in deploying their Clean Rig well service rig.
