Tests revealed very interesting performance results, specifically in terms of operating range and energy consumption, with significant variations depending on the route conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-heading\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h6\">Test results<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-list\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><div class=\"component component-list-item\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<li><strong>Route performance<\/strong>: The most efficient route distance was 37 km with a maximum gradient of 30.4 m and an average speed of 9.2 km\/h. However, one of the routes, though it was shorter, revealed a significantly higher energy consumption.<\/li>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-list-item\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<li><strong>Operating range and consumption<\/strong>: The estimated range varied between 422 and 585 minutes, whereas power consumption fluctuated between 4.51 kWh\/km to nearly 10 kWh\/km. The effect of temperature on range was also evaluated, indicating a drop of approximately 19.7% in the winter. When fully charged, the vehicle will run for 6 to 9 hours (depending on the temperature) in a conventional operating context of an open-pit mine at an elevation of 80 m.<\/li>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-list-item\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<li><strong>Reducing greenhouse gases (GHG)<\/strong>: If used in Quebec, an electric mining vehicle results in a reduction of GHG that is up to three times less (66%) over the truck\u2019s total life cycle, according to earlier estimates. We have established that using the truck can save up to 400,000 litres of diesel over the truck\u2019s total life.<\/li>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-list-item\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<li><strong>Charging effectiveness<\/strong>: The charge time for the charging stations varied between 23.1 hours and 61.1 hours depending on the voltage, as these are \u201clow voltage\u201d charging stations. A rapid 1 MW charging potential could reduce this time to 1-1.5 hours in a commercial setting.<\/li>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-list-item\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<li><strong>Economic analysis<\/strong>: Operating costs estimated over 10 years indicated that the electric vehicle with a 475 kW (+ 0.5 %) charging station, while slightly more expensive to use, could become cheaper with a 50 kW charging station, which would reduce costs by 66.07% as compared to diesel. The cost of ownership with a 475 kW charging station would increase by 18.99%, whereas a 50 kW charging station would reduce this by 9.75%.<\/li>\n<\/div><\/div><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-heading\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h6\">Qualitative feedback<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>Feedback from the drivers highlighted that performance was comparable, if not superior, to that of diesel vehicles, despite a few technical problems with the batteries, as the truck was a prototype. The vehicle\u2019s activation delays and the necessity for rapid charging were also highlighted as points needing improvement.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>A report by IVI indicated the electric vehicle\u2019s potential in an operating environment, while also identifying ways to optimize range, charging and reliability. Based on the results, switching to an electric vehicle could result in significant long-term economic and environmental advantages, despite the issues encountered.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-spacer\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-heading\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h5\">Next steps for stakeholders<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>After the end of the project, the electric mining vehicle was returned to the NMG mine site. It will be used mostly as a demonstration model and might be used for light work. Everything is currently running well, and there are plans to train the respective employees in December 2024. NMG used the electric truck for demos and plans to use it for a small construction project this fall.

Despite a higher gradient in mines, we estimate a range of 3.5 hours for one hour of charging, consistent with the initial objectives. This underscores the need to carefully plan operations to optimize the truck\u2019s use.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>In terms of performance, the electric vehicle rivals diesel trucks, specifically regarding climbing speed, which is essential to productivity. However, its load capacity drops by 11.7% when transporting materials and depending on the charging stations, its operating cycle is limited. Economically, while it is more expensive to purchase an electric vehicle, operating costs are comparable, if not lower, than those of diesel vehicles, especially with an optimized charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>Our experience suggests that the mining sector is also ready to adopt this technology, with some minor adjustments. However, there are still some challenges, specifically regarding the charging infrastructure. It is essential to accurately forecast the energy needs of each site and check the availability of power input. Depending on specific needs, higher charging power might be necessary, which might not always be compatible with the existing power input. In addition, reliability is still an issue. While most of the problems can be resolved in an improved version, the current vehicle was designed to prove its technological viability without optimizing it for commercial production. To ensure its commercial success, it is, therefore, essential to collaborate with a manufacturer capable of bringing this technology to a higher maturity level.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-spacer\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Context The project, launched on February 19, 2020, aims to validate the viability of heavy electric trucks for use in open-pit mining.
