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.
