Serbia Zijin Copper recently completed a successful trial run of its first fleet of pure electric haul trucks at its Novo Cerovo Mine, marking a significant step toward supporting Zijin Mining’s carbon neutrality goals and building a greener mining operation.

Weighing 110 tonnes, each truck has a load capacity of 70 tonnes and a loading volume of 40 cubic meters. With a top speed of 45 kilometers per hour and the ability to fully charge in just 80 minutes, these trucks are designed for both efficiency and reliability. Under downhill road conditions, a heavily loaded truck can complete up to 40 trips on a single charge. Additionally, with a battery lifespan of over six years and zero exhaust emissions, these trucks offer significant advantages over traditional diesel-powered counterparts.
