Electrifying mining
The electric vehicle revolution is coming to mining – cleaner machines will not only reduce the industry’s carbon footprint but will mean workers can breathe more easily.
The zero-emission fleet
A battery-driven electric fleet brings savings on maintenance, ventilation and cooling and provides a powerful opportunity to lessen the environmental footprint and create a healthier work environment for miners everywhere.
A power change that changes everything
We are leading the charge towards sustainability in mining through battery-electric, zero-emission equipment. After more than 100 000 operating hours, we have expanded our proven battery offering and zero-emission underground fleet with the second generation in loaders, mine trucks and rigs for face drilling, production drilling and rock reinforcement. The new battery power-packs comply with CE standards and can be covered by a new battery service plan.
The benefits of battery-electric machinery
A battery-driven electric fleet provides a powerful opportunity to lessen the environmental footprint and create a healthier work environment. Electric battery powered machinery brings savings on energy bill, maintenance, ventilation, cooling and personnel health. They are also reliable, robust, highly productive and great performing.
The CE-marked batteries have a built-in multi-layer safety system, from cell design to a deformation zone.All electrical components are maintenance free and allows for longer service intervals.
Reduce the cost of ventlation
One of the biggest expenditures in many mining operations is the cost of ventilation related to the use of diesel, and with electric machinery you can cut that cost in half, at least. Cool-running electric equipment also opens the door to new, more efficient ways of mining underground. Diesel-free equipment allows you to fundamentally change the design of the mining infrastructure to lower operating costs and boost productivity. Our new CE-marked batteries have a built-in, multi-layer safety system, from cell design to a deformation zone. These highenergy density batteries are either charged while connected to the grid, charged while the machine is idle or easily swappable for continuous operations.
