scooptram and haul truck will need more than a 4 hour operating range to make it viable, as jumbos and bolters are anyway plugged on cable as they work making them run on battery in between their workplaces make complete sense, but 4 hours runtime for a scoop or a truck does not as the scoop will have to leave it's workplace to reach a battery changing station that might be far from his mucking spot wich result in big loss of time, so is having to send your haul truck somewhere else while you do the change or having them wait, also again, big loss of time and money as an EV driver, im looking foward to when that technology is also viable for the mucking department in a mine!
Mining minerals that create carbon footprint with vehicles that are created with leaving a huge carbon footprint to reduce the carbon footprint in a mine... ok 👍
How does mining gold create carbon emissions? Do you realize that even though the manufacturing footprint of an ev is higher, the lifetime footprint is much lower?
because mining is at the base of EVERYTHING, therefore trying to make it greener is worth it. carbon neutral mining? never gonna happen and nobody is even trying to sell it. if mining piss you off so much, ditch away everything that is a product of mining. in short : everything you got
@@xxkwijiboxx You are right about the current state of things, but in the future I think there will be SO much solar and wind energy that we can clean up most of past mistakes. We can recycle like 95% of the contents in landfills and remove most of the plastic in the oceans and adjust the chemistry of the atmosphere. unless we use the energy to kill eachother....
Gives me such pride to say I'm part of the Epiroc team..
Excellent 👌🏻
Tesla: we only make electric cars
Epiroc: hold my beer
