Haul Truck Electrification as a Pathway towards Carbon-Neutral Mining: A Comprehensive Emission Review and CO2 Payback Analysis

This thesis investigates the impact of truck electrification systems on CO2 emissions and financial aspects in mining. Through comprehensive simulations, the study analyses diesel-electric trucks with trolley assist as well as battery-electric variants with trolley assist and stationary charging. The research findings reveal a noteworthy decline...
