We believe in the trolley technology which has been in existence for decades and which is now back as a key technology for mining in recent years.
Today’s trolley technology—based on diesel hybrids—will evolve and transform into battery-trolley hybrids over time. ABB’s trolley system is the perfect technology for supporting this trend and helping you transition to an all-electric mine. Built on decades of electrification experience and expertise, ABB eMine™ Trolley system can reduce your diesel consumption by up to 90%, lowering your energy costs and your environmental impact at the same time. Plus, electrified trucks run at a higher speed and provide better speed on-grade.
The trolley system is best for heavy-duty vehicles and needed for inclined hauling—which battery-only solutions are not yet capable of.
