74 t e-truck runs 19 hours a day at the mine


Swedish mining company Boliden has put its first electric truck into operation between its Renströmsgruvan mine and the concentrator plant in Boliden. With Scania’s new EV, the mining company hopes to reduce its CO2 emission intensity by 40% by 2030.

 

With a total weight of 74 t including load and trailer, it is truly a heavy transport. The truck carries 2,000 t of gold ore daily, almost round the clock. The vehicle only stops to top up its batteries. The design of this e-truck is based on technology used for trucks currently produced in Scania’s factories, but with stronger components added. (ben)
