The TRITEV prototype is a collaborative project between 3ME Technology, Batt Mobile Equipment (BME) and Tritton Underground (Aeris Resources).
An opportunity was identified to prove the concept of retrofitting larger tonnage diesel mining equipment to battery electric. An 'IT' (Integrated Tool-Carrier, Loader) was selected due to its common use in underground mines for roof-work (basket attachment) and stores movement (fork attachment).
The TRITEV is part of Project EVmine, led by 3ME Technology and supported by METS Ignited www.metsignited.org which is focused on accelerating the uptake of electric vehicles in Australian underground mining.
