LKAB and Scania are taking heavy mining transport electric underground. In this pilot, LKAB tests Scania’s battery-electric trucks — moving up to 70 tonnes of iron ore with zero tailpipe emissions. The project is a key step towards LKAB’s goal to electrify 30% of its mining fleet by 2027 and shows how electric heavy-duty transport can support safer, quieter and more sustainable mining operations.
