The Electric Truck, Developed by a Swiss Company, Has Become the Largest in Mining in the World and On the Side Generates the Energy It Needs

Developed in Switzerland, a 45-ton Electric Truck Is Being Considered the Largest in the World in Operation. And this title is not only in terms of weight and size, the performance of the electric mining truck is jaw-dropping, with a motor containing a set of 600 kWh batteries that do not require recharging.

Named eDumper, it was built by the Swiss company Kuhn Schweiz, specialized in providing machinery for the mining sector. Based on a conventional model from Japan’s Komatsu, the company installed an electric motor with a set of batteries.

The electric truck is capable of carrying a load of up to 65 tons of minerals. Therefore, it features a powerful braking system that generates electricity to recharge the motor’s batteries. The entire system can generate an excess of 200 kWh of energy.

Revolution or Incoherence?

Although the idea of electrifying trucks may seem incoherent due to the bulky and heavy parts, the fact is that producing electric trucks makes sense precisely because of these factors, since electrifying them can make up for it in this regard.

The electric truck measures 9.11m in length, 4.26m in height and width, and has a giant set of batteries, making it comparable to a Tesla S with a long-range package.

According to the company behind the electric truck, a diesel truck replaced by the electric mining truck could save up to 100,000 liters of diesel per year, avoiding the emission of up to 262 tons of CO2.

Goodbye iron: a common item in households is starting to lose space to technology that smooths clothes in minutes without an ironing board and with less energy consumption.

With 16 Bulava missiles, improvements in acoustic stealth, and a design focused on silent patrols, Russia’s nuclear submarine was born to ensure Moscow’s invisible retaliation and has become one of the pillars of its maritime strength.
