Epiroc is pioneering a battery-electric underground mine truck prototype made using fossil-free steel from SSAB. The prototype, a Minetruck MT42 Battery, has a dump box made from fossil-free steel. The result will mean a 10-tonne reduction in CO2 emissions per manufactured dump box, the equivalent of taking five gasoline cars off the road for an entire year.

The partnership will help Epiroc accelerate its journey to create a more sustainable future, deliver the world's greenest machines, and support its customers. The Minetruck MT42 Battery is a breakthrough in Epiroc's sustainable innovation. It is a significant step in the company's ambition to produce cutting-edge, environmentally smart mining equipment.

It is emissions-free in operation, generating a strong positive impact on the climate as well as on operators' work environment and productivity.
