Liebherr and Fortescue have introduced the first hydrogen-powered T 264 haul truck prototype, named Europa, at Fortescue's Christmas Creek mine in Western Australia. The truck will undergo testing in real mining conditions to gather data that will guide the development of Fortescue’s future zero-emission haul truck fleet.
The truck will be refuelled with liquid hydrogen from Fortescue’s Green Energy Hub on site. This deployment follows the arrival of a battery-electric equivalent, Roadrunner, and is part of a broader collaboration between the two companies, including the development of a fully integrated Autonomous Haulage Solution.
“What we learn from this hybrid truck will significantly shape and enhance our future development strategies for zero-emission haulage. The integration of a Fortescue Zero battery into a Liebherr haul truck marks a huge milestone in the partnership between the two companies. It is fascinating to see how this cooperation helps to fast track our planned developments of new technology from ideas to demonstration and operation in the field,” said Oliver Weiss, executive vice president of R&D, engineering, and production at Liebherr-Mining Equipment SAS.
