Australia Abandons Diesel Trucks to Use Electric Hilux in Mining

Australia will have a fleet of thousands of electric Toyota Hilux trucks to be used in mining, abandoning the turbo diesel engine. The project could happen thanks to joint efforts between SEA Electric — a specialist in this type of conversion — and MEVCO, which provides fleet services for one of the global leaders in mining.

SEA Electric stated that the trucks will be fully functional and able to withstand the demands required for vehicles used in mining. In total, 8,500 electric Toyotas will be produced, with the Hilux making up the majority and the Land Cruiser being the complement.

Surprising Numbers of the New Toyota Hilux

The trucks will feature a medium-voltage system, which eliminates the need for active thermal management of the batteries, thus reducing costs and facilitating maintenance. Additionally, there will be both 4×2 and 4×4 options of the Hilux, with two different battery sizes.

More and more, combustion vehicles have been converted to electric models, preserving style while changing the means of propulsion. These changes in the automotive industry present commercial advantages that will be leveraged by mining companies in Australia.

As Australia is always close to Brazil in the list of the largest mining countries in the world, success on the other side of the Southern Hemisphere could certainly stimulate similar changes here.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

Singer Roberto Carlos lives between two luxury retreats in Brazil and the USA: the King maintains a penthouse bought in 1980 in Urca, with 4 suites, a pool, and a view of Guanabara Bay, and also has an apartment in Miami, where he has already spent New Year’s Eve with his family.

A mother of four sought a safer family environment, watched tutorials on the internet, built a 325 m² house with her family, and learned foundation, walls, plumbing, and electrical work without any professional experience.

Trump administration entered the fray to defend Elon Musk’s xAI in a lawsuit over data center turbines, air emissions, affected communities, and national security in the United States.

Brazilian fintech unexpectedly closes office, lays off dozens via video call, and leaves employees insecure while the company denies mass layoffs.

Brazilians build modern houses 10 minutes from Disney, with luxury finishes, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a $227 condo fee, and potential for Airbnb, targeting investors who want to use the property in Orlando and rent it out when they are not in the United States.
