With electric truck conversion, NewSteel’s equipment achieves high availability of electric trucks, reaching 90% operational time. This operational optimisation results from a combination of fast charging and minimal preventive maintenance. As a result, trucks stay available for work most of the time, significantly minimising interruptions.
Operational Time Optimisation: The Key to High Availability of Electric Trucks
One of the main advantages of NewSteel’s electric trucks is their ability to operate 90% of the time. This high operational time comes from optimising both charging and maintenance processes:
- Fast and effective charging: Trucks need only 45 minutes of charging, three times a day, which takes up just 8% of the operational time. Moreover, during each charge, quick visual inspections of the control rack, operator cabin, battery panels, and a 360° check ensure safety and proper equipment performance.
- Minimal preventive maintenance: Maintenance requires only 2% of the time. This includes a one-hour weekly inspection and a 24-hour monthly schedule for software updates, checking vulnerabilities, and managing any backlog. Therefore, these steps ensure trucks are fully ready for efficient operation.
Fast Charging and Efficient Maintenance: More Operational Time, Fewer Interruptions
NewSteel’s electric trucks are specifically designed to maximise operational time. With 90% availability, mining companies can significantly reduce downtime, thereby optimising productivity. Fast charging and minimal preventive maintenance keep trucks in action:
- 45-minute fast charging: With just three daily charges, trucks can operate for 90% of the time, thus boosting their utilisation in mining operations.
- 2% preventive maintenance: Planned inspections and reviews maintain trucks in optimal condition, which prevents unplanned downtime.
