Swedish mining company Boliden has put into operation its new electric tipper truck, the Scania 25P BEV 6×2. The truck transports a total payload of up to 2,000 tonnes of gold ore for 19 hours a day from the Renströmsgruvan mine to the Concentrator plant in Boliden. The new electric truck, which Boliden obtained from Scania, is a means for the mining company to reduce the intensity of CO2 emissions by 40 percent by 2030.
This electric truck solution is based on
the technology used for trucks currently manufactured at the Scania plant with
the addition of more robust components. This strong load capacity and extended
reach will be part of Scania’s production within two years.
This 74-ton Scania 25P electric truck is
part of Regional Electrified Logistics (REEL), an initiative led by the
transport efficiency platform ‘Closer’ that leverages the support of the
Fordonsstrategisk forskning och Innovation (FFI) program to pave the way for
the transition to electric transport in the marketplace. Sweden.
