Epiroc Field Trials Battery-Electric SmartROC D65 BE


Epiroc has partnered up with leading mining services company Capital Limited to field test the SmartROC D65 BE, a battery-electric surface drill rig for the mining and construction industry. The battery-electric SmartROC D65 field test will take place in Sukari Mine in Egypt during 2024, where Capital Limited already has a broad fleet of Epiroc drill rigs.

The demand for zero emission or low emissions is growing, as the world pushes to transition from fossil-fuel-driven equipment to sustainably powered rigs. The field test of the SmartROC D65 BE is therefore important both for Epiroc and Capital Limited, who share the same desire to decarbonize the mining industry.

"This field test is an important step in our drive towards emission-free surface drill rigs. Capital Limited is always pushing the boundaries with new technologies, and that makes them an ideal partner for this field test.” said Hakan Aytekin, Vice President, Epiroc Surface division.
