Trolly Truck System for fossil free underground mining

Reference number
Coordinator Boliden Mineral AB
Funding from Vinnova SEK 10 794 750
Project duration June 2021 - April 2024
Status Ongoing
Venture Calls within the Hållbar Industri area
Call Upscaling for a sustainable industry

Purpose and goal

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The project intends to demonstrate an electric trolly truck system adapted for underground mines.

Expected effects and result

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Mines and the extraction of minerals are important for sustainable conversion. The electrification of mines is required to make extraction sustainable. An electric trolly system is an important component for battery-powered vehicles to be able to compete with diesel vehicles for long and heavy transportation. The project will demonstrate a working solution which enables commercialization and scaling up to full-scale facilities and thereby reduction of CO2 emissions, reduced need for mine ventilation and an improved working environment

Planned approach and implementation

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** An electric trolly system, consisting of an electrical infrastructure and a battery-powered vehicle with a pantograph, will be developed and validated in a relevant environment.
