SAVING FUEL FOR SUSTAINABILITY
Australian Mining
|December 2024
EARLY FIELD TEST RESULTS FROM A HYBRID DIESEL-BATTERY MINING TRUCK DEPLOYED IN CHINA HAVE SHOWN MARKED IMPROVEMENTS IN FUEL EFFICIENCY.
-
According to Cummins executive director of strategy, digital and product planning Molly Puga, the global need to reduce mining emissions will be achieved with the support of ready-to-implement power solutions.
"Cummins anticipates that the mining industry will need multiple power technology solutions for the foreseeable future," Puga said at MINExpo 2024 in Las Vegas during September.
"The mining energy transition will be driven by the availability of solutions that help achieve TCO (total cost of ownership) parity or improvement, combined with the ability to meet varied environmental sustainability goals in operation." And Cummins has seen first-hand how important it is to provide operations with ready-to-implement technologies.
Early field test results of a hybrid dieselbattery mining truck deployed in China have shown 15-20 per cent improvements in fuel efficiency after Cummins laid out the bridge technologies it is pursuing to support the energy transition.
