Furthermore , in recognition of the critical role net zero emission haul trucks play in meeting the greenhouse gas emission reduction goals , ABB and Antofagasta Minerals will collaborate , alongside other third parties , to accelerate the development of net zero emission haulage solutions . Antofagasta Minerals will act as an early adopter and test site for technology and has committed to using ABB ’ s eMine Trolley System . The system is known to reduce diesel consumption by up to 90 percent in specific environments while lowering energy costs and overall environmental impact . This technology not only reduces emissions in the short term , but also enables the future implementation of battery technology in the mining industry .
Our shared vision in achieving more sustainable processes and operations in the mining industry drives us to innovate and push the boundaries of what is possible
mine of the future and fuelling decarbonization efforts . We are fully invested in the collaborative journey to develop further solutions .”
