Vought Engineering Services last month introduced its exciting new Highlander Car to the Australian mining industry. It will feature the world-first design on Stand 5220 during AIMEX 2007, to be held September 4–7 at Sydney Olympic Park. Expert staff will be on hand to demonstrate the features of the car.

The Highlander Car is sure to impress with its innovative, patented Ergo Pod driver’s cab. Designed with optimal safety, driver comfort and efficiency in mind, the Ergo Pod is a breakthrough in mining machinery technology. A closer look at this world-first design reveals the diversity of its benefits in modern mining – the unique cab allows for a superior operator experience with revolutionary benefits in ergonomics and efficiency and clearly leads the field in safety.

“Perhaps the most outstanding feature of this world-first design is its ability to be retrofitted into existing shuttle cars as an add-on item, which will further expand the design’s potential to revolutionise the shuttle car experience,” said Graham Vought, managing director of Highlander and Vought Engineering Services.

Vought and his team are available for interviews and consultations and are currently taking bookings for appointments during the AIMEX exhibition. For further information, to enquire about the Highlander Car or Ergo Pod or book an appointment, email info@vought.com.au or call 02 6355 1300.

The Highlander Car – a solid new age strategy for the Australian underground coal miner – surely a must-see for all at AIMEX 2007.
