Boliden and Komatsu deepen cooperation around fossil-free mining
Boliden and Komatsu have deepened their collaboration on fossil-free mining, presenting a world premiere of a mining truck that can be converted to battery technology. This development follows their previous work on electrification and automation of mining trucks in Boliden's Aitik open pit copper mine. The new truck, called the Power Agnostic 930E, will be introduced in Aitik as the first operation globally to test it in a production environment.
The collaboration aims to further develop technology and implementation possibilities for fossil-free mining operations. This initiative builds on Boliden's existing efforts in Aitik, which include electrified trolley systems to reduce diesel consumption and the conversion of 17 mining trucks to self-driving in an autonomous haulage system (AHS).
Boliden e Komatsu hanno approfondito la loro collaborazione nel settore del mining senza fossili, presentando un'anteprima mondiale di un camion minerario che può essere convertito alla tecnologia a batteria. Questo sviluppo segue il loro lavoro precedente sull'elettrificazione e automazione dei camion minerari nella miniera di rame a cielo aperto Aitik di Boliden. Il nuovo camion, chiamato Power Agnostic 930E, sarà introdotto ad Aitik come la prima operazione a livello globale a testarlo in un ambiente di produzione.
La collaborazione mira a ulteriori sviluppi della tecnologia e delle possibilità di implementazione per operazioni minerarie senza fossili. Questa iniziativa si basa sugli sforzi già esistenti di Boliden ad Aitik, che includono sistemi di trolley elettrificati per ridurre il consumo di diesel e la conversione di 17 camion minerari in veicoli autonomi in un sistema di trasporto autonomo (AHS).

볼리덴과 코마츠는 무화석 채굴에 대한 협력을 심화하여 배터리 기술로 전환할 수 있는 광산 트럭의 세계 최초 모델을 발표했습니다. 이 개발은 볼리덴의 아이틱 구리 광산에서의 전기화 및 자동화에 대한 이전 작업을 따릅니다. 새 트럭인 파워 애그노스틱 930E는 생산 환경에서 시험하기 위해 세계적으로 첫 번째 운영으로 아이틱에서 소개될 것입니다.
이 협력은 무화석 채굴 작업을 위한 기술 및 구현 가능성을 추가로 개발하는 것을 목표로 하고 있습니다. 이 이니셔티브는 디젤 소비를 줄이기 위한 전기화된 트롤리 시스템과 자율 운반 시스템(AHS)에서 자율주행으로 전환한 17대의 광산 트럭을 포함하는 볼리덴의 기존 노력을 기반으로 하고 있습니다.

Boliden und Komatsu haben ihre Zusammenarbeit im Bereich der fossilfreien Bergbau vertieft und eine Weltpremiere eines Bergbau-Kippers vorgestellt, der in eine Batterietechnologie umgewandelt werden kann. Diese Entwicklung folgt auf ihre vorherige Arbeit zur Elektrifizierung und Automatisierung von Bergbaukippern in Bolidens offener Kupfermine Aitik. Der neue Kipper, genannt Power Agnostic 930E, wird in Aitik als erste operation weltweit eingeführt, um ihn in einer Produktionsumgebung zu testen.
Die Zusammenarbeit zielt darauf ab, die Technologie und Implementierungsmöglichkeiten für fossilfreie Bergbauoperationen weiterzuentwickeln. Diese Initiative baut auf den bestehenden Bemühungen von Boliden in Aitik auf, die elektrifizierte Trolly-Systeme zur Reduzierung des Dieselverbrauchs und die Umwandlung von 17 Bergbaukippern in autonom fahrende Fahrzeuge in einem autonomen Transportsystem (AHS) umfassen.
- Introduction of world's first convertible battery-powered mining truck
- Deepening collaboration with Komatsu on fossil-free mining technology
- Potential for increased productivity and lower climate impact in mining operations
- None.
In Aitik, electrified trolley systems have, separate from this cooperation, been implemented with the aim of reducing diesel consumption and 17 mining trucks have been converted to self-driving in an autonomous haulage system (AHS). In connection with the world's largest expo for mining equipment, MINEXPO in
"We have taken and continue to take important steps in the development towards a mining operation with high productivity combined with low climate impact. I am extremely proud that we are still a frontrunner in this development and thereby being a global role model in the industry", says Stefan Romedahl, President, Business Area Mines.
The mining truck now presented by Komatsu is called the Power Agnostic 930E and, as the name suggests, it can be converted from diesel to various types of fossil-free power sources.
