Innovation

Charging the mining industry into an electric future

​The future of electric mine haul trucks is one step closer to reality with global mining giants and manufacturers collaborating on interoperability standards to decarbonise haul truck fleets.

Mining giants BHP, Rio Tinto and Vale are establishing a Mining Taskforce within CharIN, supported by the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM).

 With the interoperability framework now developed through a co-design process led by professional service company GHD, the new task force is an exciting opportunity for the mining industry to lead, solving interoperability barriers and working towards standardisation.

This task force builds on the success the Charge On Innovation Challenge, with founding patrons, manufacturers and GHD maintaining momentum to establish the interoperability of haul truck electrification solutions.

“For us to be able to drive this forward, we need to be able to engage with all of the mining industry, from mining companies to OEMs and technology suppliers, to advance and enhance the existing standard,” shared Peter Wan, Co-Chair of ICMM's Initiative for Cleaner Safer Vehicles Greenhouse Gas working group and Manager, Mobile Fleet Decarbonisation, Teck Resources, one of the mining companies active in both the ChargeOn Innovation Challenge and the ICMM ICSV program.
