Did you know?

If every truck in every mine
were electrified, every day
we could remove

198,000 tons

of CO2 from the air we breathe

Electrifying a single mining truck can help save the coral reefs by lowering the ocean’s CO2 absorption by up to

1,000 tons

a year.

Electrifying a single mining truck eliminates enough CO2 emissions per year to save

3,000 m2

of arctic ice.

Electrifying a single mining truck eliminates the same amount of CO2 emissions per year that it would take

46,000

trees to absorb.
