ERG signs MoU with Hitachi CM & Eurasian Machinery to convert EH4000 trucks for trolley at Kacharksy During a recent business forum at the ‘Central Asia plus Japan Dialogue,’ Eurasian Resources Group (ERG), the diversified natural resources group headquartered in Luxembourg, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoUs) with Japan’s Hitachi Construction Machinery (HCM), the global producer of construction and mining equipment, and its official distributor in Central Asia, ТОО «Eurasian Machinery» LLP. Hitachi Construction Machinery will supply ERG with modified #dieselelectric drive EH4000 mining #dumptrucks to operate at the #Kacharsky #ironore mine in #Kazakhstan. which will help enable ERG to achieve its environmental management goals. The MoU will enable Hitachi’s #EH4000 mining trucks to run on electricity via #trolleyassist. The electrification of ERG’s truck fleet will substantially reduce local carbon emissions at the Kacharsky mine site. The company will also undertake a long-term contract for a full range of services, including the development of servicing infrastructure, and the supply of spare parts and large components. ERG told International Mining: “We have analysed the conversion of 42 Hitachi EH4000 dump trucks into trolley trucks and the creation of a trolley infrastructure in the Kacharsky mine. We are currently evaluating in detail the economic feasibility. The total length of the trolley lines should be 9.9 km. Factory-built 220 t Hitachi EH4000 dump trucks can be converted into trolley trucks. So it creates an opportunity to operate in two modes: diesel mode and trolley line mode. When the trolley line mode is activated, the power transmission from the diesel engine is switched off, the #pantograph is lifted and connected to the #trolleyline as a power source, and the power is supplied to the hub motors.” The MoU will be facilitated by Hitachi’s regional distribution partner, Eurasian Machinery, and it will support the development of ESG-focused construction practices across ERG’s global operations. The MoU was signed by the Chairman of ERG’s Board of Directors, Shukhrat Ibragimov, the CEO of Eurasian Machinery, Mehmet Kemal Cetinelli, and the President of Hitachi Construction Machinery Co, Masafumi Senzaki. To further improve economic and environmental performance, the partners have outlined plans to conduct joint feasibility studies, to support the full electrification of ERG’s mining fleet. #theelectricmine #mineofthefuture #loadandhaul
