The mining industry is traditionally associated with high noise levels due to the use of heavy internal combustion machinery. However, NewSteel’s electric truck conversions are transforming this landscape by enabling quieter mining operations, resulting in a safer and more comfortable work environment for employees.
Silent and Efficient Mining Operations
A significant advantage of electric transformation is noise reduction. While combustion trucks generate elevated noise levels, electric trucks operate at less than 20 decibels within the operator’s cabin, substantially below the industry standard. This shift is crucial for enhancing the quality of the work environment and mitigating risks associated with prolonged exposure to high noise levels.
- Reduced Noise: Electric motors are inherently quieter than combustion engines, contributing to smoother and less intrusive operations.
- Improved On-Site Communication: A quieter environment facilitates clearer communication among teams, enhancing safety and operational efficiency.
Enhancements in Workplace Environment and Worker Health
Constant noise in mining operations can adversely affect both auditory health and overall well-being. The noise reduction achieved with electric trucks decreases the risk of long-term hearing issues and fosters a more comfortable atmosphere:
- Less Stress and Fatigue: A quieter setting helps reduce worker stress and fatigue, improving performance and general well-being.
- Increased Productivity: Safer and more comfortable working conditions directly impact productivity, enabling operators to perform tasks more efficiently.
Additional Benefits of Electric Trucks in Mining
Beyond facilitating quieter operations, NewSteel’s electric trucks offer several additional advantages, making them an ideal solution for modern mining:
- Reduction of Pollutant Emissions: Electric trucks eliminate the use of fossil fuels, allowing for emission-free operations and enhanced environmental sustainability.
- Savings on Fuel and Maintenance Costs: With up to 80% savings on fuel costs and 90% less maintenance, electric trucks are not only environmentally friendly but also more economical.
- High Operational Availability: Requiring less maintenance and featuring optimized charging times, electric trucks provide 90% operational uptime, maximizing productivity.
