"Minetruck MT66 S eDrive has been built from scratch with room for an additional tonne in the box, making it the largest capacity underground mine truck on the market. By combining power with innovation, it really is the best of two worlds."
While the Minetruck MT66 S eDrive enables both higher maximum payload and increased speed compared to other high-capacity mine trucks, it also reduces fuel consumption by up to 7% thanks to the electric drivetrain. The removal of mechanical parts also lowers maintenance costs, promising reduced total cost of ownership. All in all, with all these improvements on board, Minetruck MT66 S eDrive offers an easy step to improve productivity quickly.
“In a typical mining application, the increased payload capacity means that the Minetruck MT66 S eDrive can add an additional cycle each day compared to a 65-tonnes mine truck. That means well over 23 000 additional tons annually for our customers’ productivity” says Martin Wallman, Global Portfolio Manager Underground Trucks at Epiroc’s Underground division.
The Minetruck MT66 S eDrive is being displayed at MINExpo International in Las Vegas, September 24-26. After the show, field trials will be conducted together with Gold Fields Australia, starting in Q2 2025.
