Canadian mining group Teck Resources on Tuesday announced the pilot of a fully electric on-highway transport truck to haul copper concentrate, marking what it says is the first use of a battery-electric truck to haul copper concentrate worldwide.
The truck would travel between Teck’s Highland Valley Copper Operations (HVC) in south-central British Columbia and a rail loading facility in Ashcroft, British Columbia.
