Abstract
Mining companies has strong commitments towards net-zero emissions in a considerably short time frame. Hauling is considered as one of the top priorities with strong investments to reduce GHG-footprint. These immediate actions need available solutions and technologies to support future of hauling, which is going to be electric.
ABB has developed and delivered fully integrated Trolley system to electrify the fleet and hauling process. The system is designed and delivered as a fit to purpose solution after performing a comprehensive study based on various inputs and factors specific to each site.
ABB will describe the development of the system, the features and design criteria, which are taken into consideration and will discuss the learning and execution issues based on experience of delivered trolley systems so far. Further to this the evolution from diesel-assisted (hybrid) to battery assisted systems and how does Trolley system play a key role in the journey to full-electric hauling will be described during the presentation.

- Benefits and impacting factors
- Considerations
- Evolution of hauling and role of trolley
- Lessons learnt
ABB will share insights on the importance of integrating the charging process as an essential step in the haul-cycle and therefore the importance of a Mine Operations Management System, which plans and schedules the charging events meeting and optimizing the production goals based on the constraints, power availability, mine plan & operational targets and asset.
