The Fortescue company’s prototype hydrogen truck<\/strong>, known as “Europa,” ran on hydrogen for the first time. This breakthrough represents a crucial step in the company’s mission to decarbonize heavy industry and in its collaboration with Liebherr Mining.<\/p>\n\n

Fortescue closer to a zero-emission fleet<\/h2>\n\n

First, “Europa” is a Liebherr T 264 transport truck, jointly developed with Liebherr and equipped with a 1.6 MWh battery (created in-house by Fortescue WAE) and 500 kilowatts of fuel cells. This prototype has the capacity to store more than 380 kg of liquid hydrogen<\/a><\/strong>,<\/a> making it a powerful tool in the fight to reduce emissions.<\/p>\n\n

\n

In addition, Fortescue Metals CEO, Dino Otranto, expressed his enthusiasm saying, “Following the success of our battery-electric truck prototype on site, we are excited to see Europe operating on hydrogen. This is a great achievement for the team and brings us one step closer to having a fleet of zero-emission trucks in our facilities by the end of this decade.<\/em>“.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

On the other hand, Otranto noted that they plan to move their mining operations to Europe in the coming weeks for further testing and commissioning on site.<\/p>\n\n

Likewise, Joerg Lukowski, vice president of Sales and Marketing at Liebherr Mining, noted, “With the upcoming installation in Europe, Liebherr and Fortescue have taken a significant step towards their common goal of developing and building zero-emission solutions for the mining industry that are both field-proven and energy agnostic.”<\/em>. Lukowski highlighted the outstanding capabilities of both companies working together to create viable technologies that promote a decarbonized future for mining.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

In addition, in June 2022, Fortescue and Liebherr entered into a collaboration to develop and supply net-zero emission mining haul trucks. The anticipated final fleet will also include a wide range of heavy mobile support equipment from a variety of vendors, and most will be equipped with a Fortescue WAE power system.<\/p>\n\n

Finally, \n Fortescue<\/a>\n<\/strong> <\/a>has begun taking delivery of the first T 264 diesel-electric trucks, which will be converted to zero-emission technology before the end of the decade, underlining its commitment to a cleaner and more sustainable future in mining.<\/p>\n\n
