en.Wedoany.com Reported - China's Taiyuan Heavy Industry Group (TZ) has officially put into operation a combination of a tow-powered super large excavator and a pure electric wide-body truck at a large open-pit mine in Inner Mongolia, achieving zero-carbon operations throughout the entire "mining, loading, and transportation" process.

At the mine site, a TZ tow-powered super large excavator strips ore and precisely loads it into a pure electric wide-body truck, which then exits the mining area with zero emissions. This combination consists of the TZ2100ET tow-powered super large excavator and the TZ145E pure electric wide-body truck. The TZ2100ET features a fully electric-hydraulic system, directly connected to a 6kV power grid via a high-power cable, enabling zero-carbon emissions and continuous operation, with energy costs reduced by over 35% compared to fuel-powered models. The TZ145E is equipped with a large-capacity cargo box and a reinforced frame, incorporating a triple braking system, hydraulic retarder, large-capacity battery, and energy recovery system, allowing it to recover electrical energy during downhill travel for use during uphill climbs.

The TZ cloud platform intelligent management system enables real-time monitoring and scheduling of equipment status, ensuring seamless integration between excavation and transportation processes, thereby improving operational efficiency. This combination achieves zero-carbon emissions throughout the entire operation while reducing operating costs.

TZ Group stated that this equipment combination aims to promote the green and intelligent transformation of mining operations.
