Charge On Innovation Challenge with an increased workload is BluVein , a leader in advanced dynamic charging technology for heavy haulage battery-electric vehicles .
The company says it recently made a significant breakthrough in the mining industry , with its second-generation dynamic in-motion charging prototype having completed rigorous high-voltage , high-power tests at KEMA Labs in Germany , an independent testing , inspection and certification facility for the power industry . This achievement , BluVein says , marks a major milestone in its mission to revolutionise mining operations with zero-emission technology .
BluVein says its technology for surface and underground applications directly addresses the limitations of existing power , safety and productivity approaches . Its solution offers a transitional pathway , allowing miners to adopt either hybrid diesel-electric battery trucks or fully electric BEVs .
“ BluVein ’ s fast-to-install , quickly relocatable , side-mounted ( IP2X ) safe rail transfers power to trucks while in motion , bridging battery capacity shortfalls and delivering industry-leading power and speeds , resulting in over 40 % improvement in continuous haulage productivity ,” it says .
James Oliver , CEO of BluVein , says the company ’ s system withstood high voltage tests far exceeding industry standards during its work at KEMA Labs .
“ This achievement underscores our commitment to setting a new benchmark for zero-emission technology in mining ,” he added .
Building on the success at KEMA Labs , BluVein says it is achieving equally promising results at its Proving Grounds in Australia . The Proving Grounds , an open decline simulating an
