BHP and Rio Tinto are collaborating with Komatsu and Caterpillar on trial operations to accelerate deployment of battery-electric haul trucks across their operations.
Nouveau Monde’s Matawinie graphite mine in Quebec , Canada , plans to use 12 electric trucks to save more than 80,000l of diesel per year.
BHP is collaborating with Caterpillar and Komatsu to reduce carbon emissions and achieve net zero by 2050 .
EV trucks have fewer moving parts and require less maintenance/repair, contributing to a 20-30% reduction in operational expenditure over the life of the vehicle with a payback period of 4-5 years .
There could be savings up to 30-40% in terms of fuel consumption if site conditions are suitable for EVs.
