The Charge On Innovation Challenge has concluded and the Project Leads from the Founding Patrons wrap-up the Challenge.
Introducing BluVeinXL, the dynamic charging solution for heavy-duty mining fleets up to 250t used in open-pit mining.
Industry-driven and leveraging much of the BluVein1 technology, BluVeinXL is capable of dynamically feeding power to mixed-OEM fleets to enable the onboarding of smaller battery packs, faster vehicle haulage speeds up ramp, grid load balancing, and maximum fleet availability.
Open-pit demands are mixed OEM that vary in size.
To truly enable and sustain diverse electric haulage fleets, BluVeinXL is designed to be adaptable, agnostic, and scalable.
BluVeinXL is continuing development with the Charge On Innovation Challenge Partners towards a pilot demonstration at a yet-to-be-announced location and date.
BluVeinXL project consortium also coming soon.
The Charge On Innovation Challenge has concluded and the Project Leads from the Founding Patrons wrap-up the Challenge.
Much of the buzz around BluVein to this point has focused on its dynamic charging infrastructure for underground mining and quarries, but the company has also been gaining momentum around a surface mining project – as the most recent Charge On™ Innovation Challenge announcement indicates.
In the global quest to significantly decarbonise mining operations, eight technology innovators’ submissions have been selected to progress beyond the Charge On Innovation Challenge. The global challenge, launched by BHP, Rio Tinto and Vale sought to accelerate commercialisation of effective solutions for charging large electric haul trucks while simultaneously demonstrating there is an emerging market for these solutions in mining.
