Hitachi is also expected to share its expertise in driverless operation and labor-saving technologies.
“We are ready to work more with OEMs to establish a common approach for the market and, through strategic collaborations, provide solutions that can help enable a low-carbon society and make mining operations more responsible,” Joachim Braun, ABB’s division president for process industries, said in the media brief. “New emissions-reducing technologies can transform the energy-intensive mining industry to achieve an even more productive, but also sustainable future.”
According to Braun, this collaboration with Hitachi is one of many that ABB is looking to develop with OEMs to accelerate the transition to all-electric mines.
