Rio Tinto (RIO.N), BHP (BHP.N) and Caterpillar (CAT.N) have started a
battery-electric haul truck trial in the Pilbara and report "significant
progress". Early testing has logged more than 100 hours of operation and over
200 test cycles; the next phase will evaluate dynamic charging technology. The
firms said dynamic charging could be a key lever to improve operational
efficiency. BHP reiterated its target to cut operational GHG emissions by at
at least 30% by fiscal 2030 versus fiscal 2020.
