Electrification in mining with KIEPE
Electric mining vehicles reduce emissions, cut operative costs and future-proof your mining operations. KIEPE offers the right technologies for the electrification of mining vehicles worldwide. We recognise that no two mining operations are the same and we work closely with our customers to develop solutions that meet their specific requirements.
Why electrification in mining is crucial now
Diesel is becoming more expensive, ESG requirements stricter. Electrification in mining offers answers. Companies that switch to electric mining vehicles at an early stage not only reduce their CO2 emissions, but also secure competitive advantages through lower operating costs, greater energy efficiency and sustainability aspects.
Advantages of electrification in mining at a glance
| Advantages | Benefit |
|---|---|
| emission-free | Fulfil ESG requirements |
| Low costs | No diesel, less maintenance |
| Future-proof | Promotion & scalability |
| Quiet operation | Less environmental impact |
Our e-powertrain solutions for electric mining vehicles
Whether in dusty open-cast mines or at temperatures far below zero: KIEPE's traction solutions are specially developed for extreme operating conditions. Our e-powertrain mining systems offer modular, robust components for heavy-duty commercial vehicles such as excavators, dump trucks and bulldozers. It's not just about drive power, but also about energy recovery, driving comfort and operational safety in demanding terrain.
Thanks to intelligent interfaces, our systems can be easily integrated into new vehicles or retrofitted into existing machines. Retrofitting from diesel to electric drive is particularly attractive for operators of larger fleets, as it reduces downtimes and makes the transition to sustainable mobility economically viable.
E-powertrain mining: electric drive systems for heavy commercial vehicles
KIEPE develops modular drive solutions for harsh environments. The E Powertrain systems are designed for excavators, dump trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles and deliver maximum tractive force with optimum energy efficiency.
SmartHybrid drives for mining: the bridge to an all-electric future
Full electrification is not always possible immediately. KIEPE therefore also offers SmartHybrid solutions that combine diesel and electric drive. This reduces emissions in the short term and paves the way for later conversions. Our reference, the SmartHybrid modular system for the Vossloh DE 18 freight locomotive.
Diesel to electric retrofit for excavators, dumpers and bulldozers
Existing fleets can be converted to electric drive with KIEPE components. Operators save investment costs for new purchases and at the same time gain access to subsidies and better ESG ratings. Our highlight for heavy commercial vehicles on and off-road, the KIEPE Traction Inverter, can be combined with various electric motors.
