COVER : ABB
Replacing diesel fleets with alternative transportation methods is a priority within the mining industry . While diesel trucks are still in use , the adoption of battery electric vehicles ( BEVs ) is swiftly increasing . ABB ’ s holistic eMine™ framework is bringing the future of the all-electric mine into the present . This includes ABB ’ s eMine™ FastCharge , an interoperable and modular solution providing fully automated highpower electric charging specifically designed agnostically for heavy-duty industrial mine applications . Additionally , the eMine™ Trolley System offers a dynamic energy transfer solution to ensure larger heavy-duty trucks benefit from charging while in motion . ABB experts collaborate with mining companies and partners through studies on the evaluation of the best techno-commercial solution and implementation plans , focusing on the total mine ecosystem rather than individual and isolated solutions . https :// campaign . abb . com / emine
