The 2650CX hybrid shovel features a ground-breaking combination of diesel and electric power to provide the best of both electric mining shovels and hydraulic excavators. The hybrid architecture provides the following advantages:
- Multiple dig paths
- High initial breakout force using an articulating clamshell bucket
- Flat floor clean-up
- High selectivity
- Less fuel required for digging
- SR hybrid drive (switch reluctance) technology captures regenerative power
- Fixed boom architecture reduces the mass to hoist
- Extended reach
- Increased safety through machine position relative to bank
- Increased range for truck spotting
- Capable of double side-loading
- Reduced propel time
- Mobility
- Twin diesel engines eliminate requirement for electrical cable
Reductions in total cost of ownership
The 2650CX is designed to deliver a 10 to 15% reduction in total cost of ownership (as compared to hydraulic excavators), including the following:
- Up to 25% reduction in fuel consumption
- Up to 3% availability advantage
- Up to 5-10% reduction in maintenance and repair costs

SR Hybrid Drive system
During braking, the SR motors become generators, transferring energy back into the SR drives. The SR drives use that regenerated energy to turn the engine SR generator into a motor. With the generator now acting as a motor, it:
- Supplies energy to satisfy parasitic / working loads (primarily hydraulics)
- Supplies energy to satisfy engine losses
- Shuts fuel supply off
- Increases the drive train speed (mass of the engine drive train acts as a flywheel for stored energy)
- Send any remaining excess energy to resistor grids
- Throughout the entire process, the engine experiences 0% load
Fuel is cut off for an appreciable amount of time during the shovel load cycle, which significantly reduces fuel consumption and 0% engine load during this time also increases the useful life of the engine. In the addition to fuel savings, the SR Hybrid Drives system also offers significant savings in terms of maintenance costs. The SR motors and generators have no commutator, brushes or rotor windings to repair or replace.

PreVail remote health management system
The PreVail remote health management (RHM) system provides timely and efficient machine health and performance data. The PreVail RHM system taps into the powerful communication, command, and control capabilities of the drill’s electrical control system, transforming the data into valuable knowledge, including KPI (key performance indicator) dashboards, graphical analysis tools, predictive modeling, and reporting tools.
When you activate PreVail RHM on your 2650CX hybrid shovel, you have access to:
- Increased asset performance visibility to help you determine when to intervene, minimizing corrective action costs
- Valuable risk management tools that help reduce troubleshooting time and mean time to recovery
- Key performance indicator (KPI) benchmarking that makes performance gaps more visible and allow you to set in motion corrective measures to maximize productivity
- Operating practices analysis that allows you to review and correct operators that are not following best practices for optimal productivity
The initial subscription period of one year is included free; after one year, subscription fees apply.
