Mining equipment – future potential for autonomous and electrical technology
Mining companies will electrify their operations by integrating renewable energy. Wind and solar, in combination with battery storage systems, will be part of future mines. This trend will influence the coming market for electrification solutions in mining. The presentation will show what kind of electrified equipment can be expected. In surface mining, there is potential for electrified dump trucks, mining drills and mining shovels. In underground mining, electrified loaders will play an important role. New electrified machines will offer opportunities for innovative suppliers. Autonomous technology will increase safety. Because of the available workforce, autonomy is requested. Electrification will support autonomy.
