General information

Short Summary
The German basalt and diabase mine seeks to replace its diesel-powered heavy-duty tipper with an e-tipper. Therefore, they are looking for a company offering e-dump trucks under a commercial agreement.
Full Description
The German company is an established operator of quarries extraction of basalt and diabase. The company is specialised in the extraction, processing and refinement of natural stone.

Currently, they work with a diesel-powered heavy-duty dump truck (gravity truck). Due to its size, the vehicle needs a very large amount of diesel fuel as well as operating fluids and lubricants. The company would like to replace this diesel-powered heavy-duty tipper with an e-tipper. The total annual CO2 emissions could thus be reduced by around 80%.
The company is therefore looking for a manufacturer of e-dump trucks under a commercial agreement. This would be the first e-tipper in Germany.

Target values are as follows:
Operating time per year 2,000 h
Calculated electricity consumption: 36 kWh/h
Total annual electricity consumption: 68,000 kWh
Payload: 65 tonnes
Annual freight capacity: 455,000 tonnes
Total annual CO2 emissions: 34,408 kg with the current electricity mix
