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.

Revolution or Incoherence?

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

China manufactures 150 buses in just 16 working days and ships them to Argentina at prices up to 30% lower than those produced locally, putting body manufacturers in the neighboring country on high alert due to the speed and cost of Asian production.

Brazil accelerates the production of electric buses and could end 2026 as the leader in Latin America in a race that promises to transform public transportation in large cities.

An 11-year-old boy from Texas was just hoping to be officially adopted, but he got the most exciting surprise of his life when 45 classmates showed up unexpectedly at the courthouse to celebrate with him.

Two cyclones are surrounding Brazil at the same time this week: one brings heavy rain to the South while the other pushes cold air that drops temperatures by up to 6 degrees in mountainous areas of the Southeast.

A 20-year-old young man became paralyzed from the waist down after an accident and received treatment with polylaminin in Santa Catarina, and he is already able to move his feet days later.
