Maximize Availability and Operability with Electric Transformation
In mining, efficiency and productivity heavily depend on the availability and operability of equipment. Ensuring that trucks are always ready to work is critical for the success of mining operations. NewSteel’s electric transformation of combustion trucks offers an innovative solution to maximize these critical factors.
Improving Availability and Operability
NewSteel’s electric transformation enables trucks to achieve an impressive 90% operational availability. This high level of operability ensures that trucks are ready to work most of the time, significantly reducing downtime. With rapid charging in just 50 minutes and a 7-hour autonomy, trucks can maintain a continuous work cycle, optimizing operational time in mines.

Increasing Payload and Productivity
For a 220-ton truck, converting to electric systems involves replacing heavy components with lighter, more efficient batteries and traction motors. This change reduces the truck’s empty weight, allowing an increased payload of approximately 9 tons. This translates to an additional capacity of 40,500 tons per year per truck. When applied to a fleet of 10 trucks, the total increase reaches 405,000 tons annually. This improvement maximizes the utility of each trip, reducing the need for additional trucks in the fleet and enhancing operational efficiency. This gain demonstrates the advanced design of NewSteel electric trucks.
Impact on Operational Costs
NewSteel’s electric transformation not only improves operability but also has a significant impact on operational costs. On average, the maintenance cost per hour for a 240-ton electric truck is just $15 USD, compared to $60 USD for an equivalent diesel truck. This translates to an average annual savings of $328,500 USD per truck, representing a substantial reduction in long-term operating costs. For a fleet of 10 electric trucks, the projected savings over five years amount to $16,425,000 USD, showcasing the economic value of this transformation.

Efficiency in Mining Operations
Efficiency is a critical factor in mining, and NewSteel’s electric transformation offers an effective solution. With an 80% reduction in combustion and maintenance costs, mining operations can lower operational expenses while increasing efficiency. Additionally, the greater power on slopes ensures that trucks can handle challenging terrains without compromising speed or safety.
Impact on Productivity, Availability, and Operability
The impact of NewSteel’s electric transformation on mining productivity is profound. By reducing downtime and operational costs, mines can operate more efficiently and profitably. The integration of advanced technology and sustainability not only improves availability and operability but also contributes to a safer and more responsible working environment.
