Epiroc trials first-ever battery-electric surface drill rig


Epiroc has agreed with Swedish construction company Skanska to field test the world’s first battery-electric drill rig for surface operations. The trial is a step in the journey towards zero-emission drilling in surface mines and quarries around the world.

The design of the rig is based on Epiroc’s SmartROC T35 surface drill rig which is designed to enhance the environmental standards of quarries and larger construction sites. In addition to producing zero emissions in operations, the rig comes with a range of smart features, options and enhanced automation solutions for optimal safety, reliability, and performance. Skanska will test the rig at a quarry near Stockholm, Sweden. The machine, which has been manufactured in Örebro, Sweden, will arrive at the quarry in September.

“Epiroc has bold sustainability targets in place for the year 2030. With the SmartROC T35 E we are taking a large step towards reaching our promise to offer a full range of emissions-free products for quarries and large construction applications.” says Helena Hedblom, Epiroc’s President & CEO.
