Sandvik and Boliden in Partnership for First BEV Loader Trial in Europe


Boliden’s Garpenberg zinc operation in Sweden will become the first mine in Europe to trial Sandvik LH518B. Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions and Boliden have agreed on a 12-month collaborative trial period for the new 18-tonne battery-electric loader.

As a purely battery-powered loader, Sandvik LH518B will support Boliden’s efforts to improve sustainability by reducing greenhouse gas emissions underground. Sandvik LH518B is easy to implement in most underground operations, as it does not require any major changes to mine infrastructure. The loader’s Sandvik AutoSwap and AutoConnect features facilitate seamless installation of a fresh battery in less than six minutes, enabling it to return to operation significantly sooner than ‘fast-charge’ mining BEVs.
