2022: First Scania 25 P - for XT-ra demanding environ­ments

A Scania 25 P XT electric heavy tipper truck with a 6x4 axle configuration, was delivered to a location above the Arctic circle. This electric heavy tipper transports residual products and has a total weight including load of 49 tonnes. It is the first of its kind in the mining industry. It was installed to operate alongside an electric crane truck, as the customer strives to run a more sustainable mining operation in northern Sweden. This truly is a rough and very cold environment, so the electric XT truck is specially adapted for these conditions. This project gave Scania a chance to live test and operate fully electric heavy trucks in a demanding underground mine environment.

 

Scania and this state-owned customer, two well-established industrial companies, have joined forces to operate electric vehicles in LKAB’s mines. This electric truck is a joint step towards the future to make this one of the most sustainable mining companies in the world. The route to a safe, productive and carbon emission free iron and steel industry starts with the iron ore in the mines, and is now extended to also include transport.
