Fortescue Metals Group engages Williams Advanced Engineering for battery-electric haul truck

Fortescue Metals Group announced an agreement with Williams Advanced Engineering (WAE) to design, build, test and integrate a battery system for an all-electric mining haul truck. The project includes a bespoke battery-electric powertrain with regenerative braking, to be built at WAE's UK facility and shipped to Perth for integration into a 240 t class prototype truck for testing at Fortescue's Pilbara operations.

“The project includes the design and construction of a bespoke battery-electric powertrain, again with the ability to regenerate power as the truck travels downhill.”im-mining.com
