Development of Electric Mining Vehicles in Surface and Underground Mining, 2023
Summary
As miners strive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, many are beginning to invest in battery-powered and electric-powered mining fleets as they embark on the long-term goal of diesel displacement.
The pace of switching to electric mining vehicles is highest underground; over 240 LHDs and mining trucks were running on electric power by early 2023. For surface mines the use of electric-powered mining trucks has been relatively limited. It has historically focused on the use of trolley-assist trucks, of which GlobalData is tracking 230 globally, with this number rising whilst battery power is still being trialled.
Scope
- The report analyses the development of electric vehicles in the mining industry, tracking additions over time and specifying the exact brands and models used across each mine. Future plans for further additions or introductions of electric vehicles are included as well as details of the benefits achieved from the use of electric vehicles by miners.
- Track the development of electric vehicles, specifically LHDs, underground mining trucks and trolley-assist trucks, in the mining sector.
