Mining Vehicles & Machines

The mining industry has already recognised its role in making the industry more energy efficient and sustainable through setting goals and taking actions to meet carbon emissions targets. In part, this is being led by the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) that has committed to achieving the goal of net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 or sooner.

To help the mining industry achieve this goal, ABB is working in partnership with OEMs and System Integrators, using its experience from innovating in sustainable transportation solutions since the late 19th century, to provide complete electric powertrains for heavy working vehicles and machinery in both underground and surface mining.

Impact

Lowering emissions

If every truck, in every mine were electrified, every day we could remove 198,000 tons of CO₂ from the air we breath

ABB_picto_48x48_10_people_0446-Medium Protecting the workforce

Vehicles free of emissions reduce the need for underground ventilation, therefore reducing the impact associated with toxic air on both the workforce and operating costs.

pictogram_low total cost of ownership

Improved capacity and efficiency of the mine

It is estimated that by 2030 the total cost of ownership for a battery electric vehicle will be 20% lower than existing diesel trucks thanks to 20-30% lower maintenance costs and 40-60% lower fuel costs.

Net-Zero commitments

Diesel powered heavy vehicles represent a significant proportion of the greenhouse gas emissions from the industry. By switching to electric, the total emissions can be reduced, helping mine operators move more quickly to becoming net-zero and meeting their ESG commitments.

Construction Vehicles & Machines

The global construction industry still mainly uses diesel-powered construction vehicles such as excavators, cranes and dozers that are estimated to collectively emit around 400 Mt of CO₂ per year. That amount accounts for approximately 1.1% of global CO₂ emissions. Of these construction vehicles, excavators over 10-tonnes in weight are responsible for close to a staggering 46% of those emissions.

In addition to CO₂ emissions, diesel-powered vehicles also emit other harmful gasses and particulates that are harmful to the populations where these vehicles operate.

It is not just carbon emissions and harmful gases that are particularly challenging for the construction industry. Increasing governmental regulations, noisy work environments in urban areas, low energy efficiency, and wasted heat are proving to be mounting obstacles for owners & operators.

ABB has been a pioneer in developing electric powertrains for construction vehicles to overcome many of these challenges.

Reduced emissions

With many large construction sites based in cities and built-up areas, reducing the overall emissions will help clean the air and improve the safety and health of residents as well as the environment in which the construction is taking place

Safer working environments

By moving away from diesel powered vehicles to electric powered, the noise on site will be dramatically reduced as will the pollutants in the vicinity – not only CO2 but also nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and particulate matter.

Reduced costs

The cost of fuel is increasing. By switching away from diesel powered vehicles, the cost savings could be significant. In addition, electric powered vehicles have less mechanical wear and tear and less moving parts therefore the service and maintenance costs are reduced.

Higher efficiency and lower maintenance

Due to their high efficiency and fewer moving parts, electricity-powered construction vehicles and machines have a lower operating cost compared to diesel vehicles. Maintenance is generally lower for electric vehicles.

Traction batteries

Material Handling Vehicles

Like many industries, vehicles used in material handling such as reach stackers and forklifts, emit a significant amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in their daily operations. This is particularly problematic at industries with 24h hour operation.

There is an urgent need to reduce the impact on our planet by significantly reducing annual CO₂ emissions. This urgency is particularly high in ports that are estimated to increase emissions fourfold by 2050.

The ongoing price and supply volatility of fuel is adding another challenge for operators, so it is critically important for companies in materials handling to transition to a sustainable transport approach today.

To help the material handling industry achieve their sustainability goals, ABB is working in partnership with OEMs and System Integrators, using its experience from innovating in sustainable transportation solutions since the late 19th century, to provide complete electric powertrains for industrial working vehicles and machinery.

Impact

Reduced emissions

By electrifying and automating materials handling vehicles we can start to reduce the 18 million tonnes annually of CO₂ emissions, as well as other harmful pollutants caused by the marine industry in port.

Healthier working environments and cleaner ports

Reducing the amount of CO₂ and other gases means cleaner environments for port workers, along with cleaner cities for those ports located nearer city centers.

Reduced maintenance and greater efficiency

By transitioning to electric-powered vehicles for materials handling, we can reduce the servicing and maintenance compared with diesel-powered vehicles. This means increased operational capacity and reduced downtime.
