In response to the push for sustainability in Australia’s mining industry, Alta Technology has introduced the PureTraction™ suite, a modular electrification system designed specifically for mining haul trucks. The suite offers retrofitting solutions and original equipment options to help mining companies decarbonize their fleets in a cost-effective and timely manner. With the mining sector contributing significantly to Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions, the need to reduce carbon footprints has become a focal point of sustainability efforts for mining companies.
The PureTraction™ suite includes hybrid retrofits, full electric retrofits, and hydrogen fuel cell options, catering to different needs and offering immediate reductions in fuel consumption and emissions. The suite’s proprietary HSG8000 Total Power Control Unit enables precise control over energy distribution and optimizes power use within the system.
By offering retrofitting options, Alta Technology provides a practical and attractive solution for mining operations looking to upgrade their fleets without significant downtime or capital expenditure. The company’s real customer experience, including a successful regenerative braking project with China Shenhua, demonstrates the effectiveness of their technologies in reducing operational costs and improving energy efficiency.
Roy Zou, Managing Director of Alta Technology, emphasizes that the PureTraction™ suite offers mining operators a pathway to meeting their sustainability goals without the need for major fleet overhauls. As the first Australian company to offer a modular electrification solution, Alta Technology is leading the way in innovation within the mining sector and paving the road towards a cleaner future for industries.
