To demonstrate Liebherr’s commitment to supporting customers as they decarbonise their mining operations, the Group’s mining product segment is exhibiting two of its impressive electrification solutions: the T 264 Battery Electric truck and the R 9400 E electric excavator.

“Electrification is an important part of our strategy for offering fossil fuel-free options for all of our mining equipment by 2030,” explains Oliver Weiss, Executive Vice President of R&D and production for Liebherr-Mining Equipment SAS. “The solutions we are bringing with us to bauma this year highlight the incredible strides we’ve made in this area.”

The T 264 Battery Electric truck displayed on the Liebherr booth represents the culmination of years of hard work within the Liebherr–Fortescue partnership and also showcases the value of working hand-in-hand with industry partners. The battery-electric T 264 is a 240 t mining truck powered by a 3.2 MW battery, which was developed by Fortescue Zero – Fortescue’s technology arm.

The T 264 Battery Electric truck supports both static and dynamic charging; and options for both are on display at bauma. The stationary fast-charging solution on the booth was developed by Fortescue. It delivers up to 6 MW of power, enabling the battery-electric T 264 to charge in under an hour. Liebherr is also showcasing the Liebherr Power Rail, a class-agnostic dynamic charging concept based on Liebherr’s proven trolley bar technology.
