EV-LKP1

The project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund under the agreement POIR.01.01.01-00-1427/20-00.

Project title: Innovative vehicle for loading bulk materials EV-LKP1

The subject of the project is the development and construction of a prototype of a lightweight mining loader with electric drive and battery power (BEV – Battery Electric Vehicle), equipped with a dedicated advanced diagnostic system. An innovative solution not previously used in loaders of this size will be the elimination of the drivetrain and the implementation of an “in-wheel drive” solution.

As part of the project, a loader design will be developed, with a focus on dedicated, integrated drive axles with electric drives, a high-capacity energy storage system, and new, innovative wheels. The developed machine prototype will be validated within the project under near-real conditions (a special test track) and in real conditions (bauxite mines).

Planned outcomes:
The result of the work will be an innovative mining machine that, due to its design, will have a positive impact on the natural environment by reducing the consumption of fossil fuels and lubricants, as well as increasing the time and cost efficiency of critical resource extraction operations.
