The transition to sustainable mobility in the mining sector has become one of the great challenges to reduce carbon emissions. In Chile<\/strong>, the state and private companies are aware that changes must be accelerated, which is why they are carrying out large-scale projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Against this backdrop, the state-owned Codelco<\/strong> established goals such as reducing its carbon footprint by 70% by 2030, ensuring that its subway mining activities are 100% electrified, promoting the industrial development of hydrogen and working entirely with clean energy by 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this regard, the company presented a fleet of electric buses at the Col\u00f3n Alto platform of the El Teniente Division. Through a press release, the organization detailed that these 155 vehicles<\/strong>, most of them manufactured in Rancagua, generate zero direct emissions and will transport workers from Chuquicamata, Andina and El Teniente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
