First Break Mining
Electric mining truck
The battery driven trucks are robust machines built for demanding underground applications. The trucks have been constructed with zero emissions in mind and battery power which leads to lower operational costs.
Battery power gives supreme strength
Energy regeneration and the efficient drivetrain configuration will ensure low energy consumption and extend driving range. With the electric drive, Battery mine trucks will outperform diesel equivalents, especially on grade.
Electric mining trucks are optimized for productivity in many ways. The drivetrain has been optimized to reduce losses and reduce the number of components. One high power electrical motor is connected to each axel. The electrical drivetrain provides unheard of speed on grades, both up and down the ramp. Hydraulic functions are powered from a separate auxiliary motor that delivers hydraulic power on-demand. Extended battery autonomy is achieved through energy regeneration and high energy density battery design.
Healthier working environment
This zero-emission machine helps to create a healthier work environment and lessens the environmental footprint.
Lower operational costs
Zero-emissions means your needs for underground ventilation is minimized and reduced ventilation costs will equal a massive return on your investment.
High capacity and productivity
Thanks to the highly efficient drive train, battery driven trucks hauls material faster than its diesel-driven counterparts.
Minetruck Battery is 100% exhaust free
The future is electric
Why go battery electric?
Apart from new legislations, rules and standards, the reasons for going electric are many. Health and safety improvements are also obvious with less particulate matters and diesel fumes in the mines. In a bigger picture the environmental aspects with global warming is reason enough.
Epiroc is leading the change towards sustainability in mining through battery electric, zero-emission equipment. This contributes to a sustainable future and a smaller environmental footprint. It is a power change that changes everything.
Easy maintenance
Minetruck MT42 Battery
High-speed, articulated underground truck with 42-tonne payload capacity.
A superior underground mining truck
Minetruck MT42 Battery is a 100% fossil-free mining rock truck, based on the well-proven Minetruck MT42, for both underground mining and civil construction applications. This large electric truck is as suitable for development as for production haulage. With the electric drive, Minetruck MT42 Battery will outperform diesel equivalents, especially on grade.
Supreme strength, zero emission
Minetruck MT42 Battery is impressively fast on inclines, accelerating your dump cycles and increasing your overall productivity. The result is unmatched, zero emission performance in underground mining and construction operations. In other words, this electric truck get the job done without diesel fumes.
