Important results from the project
The overhead objective with the pre-study has been to increase knowledge and understanding in the transport efficiency, customer benefits and business potential for electrification of quarry transports.
Expected long term effects
The main deliverable from the project is increased knowledge in the area of electromobility for construction equipment in quarries. This is illustrated by -Project plan for demonstrator project -Project application Other project results are - master thesis on new machine concept / conveyor belt - start of student project at LTU (Sirius project). New machine concept for transport vehicles.
Approach and implementation
The project work can be delivered into the following work steps: - Quarry Visist / Needfinding - Development of logistic solutions for electrification - Estimation of power- and energy needs - Analysis of site management- and scheduling systems - Estimation of TCO with Electrification the potential of Electrified Quarries - Estimation of Volvo CE Business potential - Project plan creation More detail on each work step can be found in the project report.
