Sweden-based Epiroc has secured a contract from mining contractor Byrnecut to deliver underground mining trucks for the Kathleen Valley lithium mine in Western Australia.
Under the contract, which is valued at around Skr130m ($11.90m), Epiroc will deliver a fleet of Minetruck MT65 S haulers.
These mining trucks will feature Epiroc’s telematics system, Certiq, which allows operators to have intelligent real-time monitoring of machine performance and productivity.
Epiroc will also provide parts and service support including service technicians on site.
The company plans to commence delivery of the trucks soon and will continue in 2024 and 2025.
Epiroc Underground division president Sami Niiranen said: “The newly updated Epiroc Minetruck MT65 S is a top-of-the-line machine designed with a focus on safety, productivity, energy efficiency and operator comfort.
