From cars to mining trucks — BEML’s 60-ton electric mining truck marks India’s EV shift into heavy industry | Company Business News
BEML Limited has unveiled India's first indigenously designed 60-ton electric dump truck, the BH60-EV, at its Mysuru Complex. For mining and infrastructure operators, it runs on a 1,000 kWh lithium-ion battery with zero tailpipe emissions. BEML says running costs could fall 40–60% compared with diesel trucks, though actual savings depend on site conditions.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The BH60-EV has a payload capacity of 54,500 kg with a rock body, and a volumetric body capacity of 36.4 cubic metres.
- It is powered by a 1,000 kWh high-voltage lithium-ion battery pack and a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) integrated with a rugged gearbox.
- BEML says the truck produces zero tailpipe emissions and is designed to deliver 40–60% lower operating costs than conventional diesel-powered equipment, depending on operating conditions.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If your mining or infrastructure business runs diesel haul equipment, you may want to ask BEML or your equipment dealer about the BH60-EV's availability, charging arrangements and a site trial. Treat the 40–60% saving as a design estimate only, and check your own fuel, power and terrain costs before planning a switch.
