E-trucks for sustainable mining operations
Scania and LKAB are joining forces to operate sustainable vehicles in LKAB’s mines. An electric Scania heavy tipper will operate in the LKAB mine in Malmberget, in northern Sweden, alongside an electric crane truck specially adapted for these mining operations.
The heavy tipper has a total weight including load of 49 t and will transport residual products. The second truck is equipped with a crane, purpose-fit to transport drill steel to underground drill rigs.
The electric truck with the crane will be charged at the depot, but mobile charging at the sites will also be possible to increase flexibility. The vehicles are expected to start operations at LKAB during 2022. (ben)
