Boliden, Epiroc, and ABB deploy Sweden's first battery-electric truck trolley system for underground mining on an 800-meter test track.
Boliden, Epiroc, and ABB have deployed the first battery-electric truck trolley system for underground mining on an 800-meter-long test track in Sweden. This marks a critical moment for the industry as it aims to balance increased outputs of critical minerals and metals with lower carbon emissions and energy use. Demand for minerals critical to society's clean-energy transformation is predicted to rise between 1.5 and seven times by 2030, making electrification a priority. The electric truck trolley system promises improved working conditions and reduced emissions, noise, and vibration while lowering costs per tonne.
