Important results from the project
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project has demonstrated an electric trolley truck system adapted for underground mines.
Expected long term effects
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Mines and the extraction of minerals are important for the sustainable transition. The electrification of mines is required to make mining sustainable. An electric trolley system is an important component for battery-powered vehicles to be able to compete with diesel vehicles for long and heavy transportation. The project has demonstrated a working solution which will be commercialized. A first full-scale plant will also be built, which will reduce CO2 emissions, reduce the need for ventilation in the mine and improve the working environment.
Approach and implementation
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The electric trolley truck system, consisting of an electrical infrastructure and a battery-powered mining truck with pantograph, has been developed, validated and demonstrated on an 800m long test track in the relevant environment, the Kristineberg underground mine.
