This innovative vehicle is operating at First Quantum Minerals Ltd&#8217;s Kansanshi copper and gold mine in <strong>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hitachicm.com\/global\/en\/news\/topics\/2024\/24-01-17\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zambia<\/a>\n<\/strong>. The purpose of the test is to verify the truck&#8217;s performance under real operating conditions.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evaluation of the dump truck under real conditions<\/h2>\n\n<p>During the test, the <strong>dump truck with full battery will be evaluated on crucial aspects such as travel, turning and braking<\/strong> under actual operating loads. In addition, battery charge and discharge cycles will be analyzed to ensure battery efficiency and performance. First Quantum, with its expertise in trolley system technology, is providing the necessary infrastructure and facilities for this test at its Kansanshi mine.<\/p>\n\n<p>Zambia, with 92% of its energy coming from renewable <strong>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/renewable-sources-generate-50-of-the-electricity-distributed-in-bolivia\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"55080\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">renewable sources<\/a>\n<\/strong>is the ideal environment for this test. First Quantum plans to expand its use of renewable energies, including solar, wind and biogas. This Hitachi Construction Machinery project seeks not only to promote decarbonization in Zambia, but also to develop sustainable products and applications for global customers.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Hitachi Construction Machinery&#8217;s Dump Truck  <\/h2>\n\n<p>The truck was developed in collaboration with ABB Ltd., a leader in electrification and automation. Using dynamic charging systems, the truck <strong>can operate continuously without the need to stop for recharging<\/strong>, thanks to direct charging from overhead lines and the regenerative braking system. This design allows for greater charging capacity and reduces the weight of the battery in the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Truck characteristics<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Initial and life-cycle cost control: The dynamic charging system limits the volume of batteries needed, reducing costs and environmental impact through life-cycle assessment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reducing vehicle weight and maximizing payload capacity: Limiting battery volume reduces vehicle weight, allowing for greater payload capacity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Higher continuous operation rate: Dynamic loading allows the truck to operate without stopping, increasing productivity on site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\" align\"><div id=\"wpfp_2706\" data-item=\"{&quot;sources&quot;:[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=bJ9hOCyJMUM&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;video\\\/youtube&quot;,&quot;sources_fvqs&quot;:[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=bJ9hOCyJMUM&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;video\\\/youtube&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;video\\\/youtube&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;video\\\/youtube&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;video\\\/youtube&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;video\\\/youtube&quot;}]}],&quot;id&quot;:&quot;3485&quot;,&quot;splash&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/bJ9hOCyJMUM\\\/maxresdefault.jpg#auto&quot;}\" class=\"freedomplayer flowplayer no-brand is-splash is-paused skin-custom no-svg fp-full fp-outlined is-youtube is-youtube-standard\" data-fvsticky=\"true\" data-button-repeat=\"1\" data-button-rewind=\"1\" data-fv-embed=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/feasibility-truck-tipper-battery-complete\/fvp-2706\/\" style=\"position:relative; max-width: 95%; max-height: 90%; \" data-ratio=\"0.5625\" data-qsel=\"1080p,720p,480p,360p\" data-qlabels=\"1080p,720p,480p,360p\" data-fv_stats_data=\"{&quot;player_id&quot;:&quot;2706&quot;,&quot;post_id&quot;:167578}\" data-engine=\"fvyoutube\" data-speedb=\"1\">\n\t<div class=\"fp-ratio\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%\"><\/div>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%\" class=\"fp-splash\" alt=\"video\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/bJ9hOCyJMUM\/maxresdefault.jpg#auto\" \/>\n\t<div class=\"fp-ui\" style=\"position:absolute\"><noscript>Please enable JavaScript<\/noscript><div class=\"fp-play fp-visible\"><svg class=\"fp-play-rounded-outline\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 99.844 99.8434\"><defs><style>.fp-color-play{opacity:0.65;}.controlbutton{fill:#fff;}<\/style><\/defs><title>play-rounded-outline<\/title><path class=\"fp-color-play\" d=\"M49.9217-.078a50,50,0,1,0,50,50A50.0564,50.0564,0,0,0,49.9217-.078Z\"\/><path class=\"controlbutton\" d=\"M41.0359,71.19a5.0492,5.0492,0,0,1-2.5575-.6673c-1.8031-1.041-2.7958-3.1248-2.7958-5.8664V35.1887c0-2.7429.9933-4.8272,2.797-5.8676,1.8025-1.0422,4.1034-.86,6.48.5143L70.4782,44.5672c2.3751,1.3711,3.6826,3.2725,3.6832,5.3545s-1.3076,3.9845-3.6832,5.3562L44.9592,70.0114A7.9384,7.9384,0,0,1,41.0359,71.19Zm.0065-40.123a2.6794,2.6794,0,0,0-1.3582.3413c-1.0263.5926-1.5912,1.9349-1.5912,3.78V64.6563c0,1.8449.5649,3.1866,1.5906,3.7791,1.0281.5932,2.4733.4108,4.07-.512L69.273,53.1906c1.5983-.9227,2.478-2.0838,2.478-3.2689s-.88-2.3445-2.478-3.2666L43.754,31.9227A5.5685,5.5685,0,0,0,41.0423,31.0671Z\" filter=\"url(#f1)\"\/><\/svg><\/div><div class=\"fp-preload\"><b><\/b><b><\/b><b><\/b><b><\/b><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='fvp-share-bar'><div><label><a class=\"embed-code-toggle\" href=\"#\"><strong>Embed<\/strong><\/a><\/label><\/div><div class=\"embed-code\"><label>Copy and paste this HTML code into your webpage to embed.<\/label><textarea><\/textarea><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Dump truck assembly with full battery.
