Hindustan Zinc has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Sandvik AB to introduce battery powered chargers and trucks to underground mining.
According to reports, introducing Sandvik's battery-electric TH550B trucks and LH518B chargers into Hindustan Zinc underground mines will help reduce carbon emissions and make mining operations more environmentally friendly.
This partnership with Sandvik will help Hindustan Zinc move one step closer to carbon neutrality.
During the first phase of the collaboration, Hindustan Zinc will deploy two different categories of Sandvik BEV machines: the TH550B truck and the LH518B loader in underground mining operations.
