Mississauga, Canada: Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions has secured an order of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) from BHP for the Jansen Potash Project, located in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. Jansen Stage 1 is being designed with a focus on sustainability and technology and the battery-electric loaders will be used in the most advanced potash-mine in the world.

Sandvik is upgrading its 30 tonne truck with the latest engine technology and adding Toro™ TH430 to its bull family. This reliable, productive truck is now compliant with Stage V regulations, the most stringent emission regulations in the world. In addition to reducing emissions, the Stage V trucks can reduce fuel consumption by up to 3% compared to lower stage engines.

Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions is bringing a groundbreaking electric concept drill rig for surface drilling to the Vei og Anlegg 2022 exhibition, one of Scandinavia’s largest construction trade shows, May 11–14 2022. The new concept rig demonstrates some of the advanced technologies that will be introduced on future series drill rigs to support more sustainable and energy-efficient surface drilling, particularly in urban construction applications.

Another low profile unit joins Toro™ family from Sandvik, Toro™ LH208L loader. The loader is tailor-made to operate efficiently in conditions where working height is extremely limited; its equipment height is only 1.6 meters and payload capacity 7.7 tonnes. The main markets for Toro™ LH208L loader are in the southern Africa.
