HITACHI ENERGY AND BLUVEIN ACCELERATE THE ELECTRIFICATION OF HEAVY HAUL MINING FLEETS
The collaboration combines solutions to deliver electricity safely to battery-electric haul trucks of up to 400 metric tons and decarbonize mining operations.
BluVeinXL – Surface Mining Electrification Technology
Hitachi Energy and BluVein, an innovator in dynamic charging technology, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to accelerate the electrification of heavy haul mining fleets and solve one of the biggest challenges in decarbonizing mine operations.
Hitachi Energy's advanced power electronics and digital charging technologies allow BluVein's e-rail charging technology to deliver electricity safely and reliably to haul trucks of up to 400 metric tons while transporting materials.
The collaboration will fast-track the development of a high-powered, fast and flexible dynamic charging solution for surface and underground mines and quarries in Australia and across the globe. BluVein will focus on its leading-edge e-rail and connection of the truck, which Hitachi Energy will further complement with advanced power electronics and digital solutions to power and monitor the whole system.
Hitachi Energy and BluVein are also exploring the off-vehicle hardware requirements for BluVein1 for underground and smaller fleets, while actively cooperating on BluVein Proving Grounds currently under construction in Queensland, Australia.
