During the National Business Meeting (ENADE), Enel X<\/strong> and SQM <\/strong>presented “E-Truck<\/strong>“, the first 100% electric high tonnage mining truck, which will operate at SQM<\/strong>‘s sites in the Antofagasta Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the press release published by Enel<\/strong>, the new 28-ton Yutong “E-Truck<\/strong>” for mining will travel a route of 86 kilometers from the Coya Sur plant, located in Mar\u00eda Elena, to the port of Tocopilla, with an estimated monthly travel distance of more than 7,500 kilometers<\/strong>, thus avoiding the emission of approximately 12 tons of CO2<\/sub> per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The project seeks to test the autonomy of electric trucks for large-scale mining and their constructive capabilities to work at the same level as a diesel mining truck of similar characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It will also validate the operation of the truck and its high-powered charging infrastructure, and how it adapts to the normal operating schedule of the plant, its operations and its response to the saline environment of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
