revealed it would not completely transition to renewable energy.</p><p>Although battery electric heavy vehicles might be cheaper to maintain, managing director Pat Boniwell conceded diesel-powered trucks and loaders were still more versatile.</p><p>“Diesel-electric equipment has a proven ability to combine the low maintenance benefits of electric machines with the flexibility of diesel,” he said in a public statement.</p><p>Boniwell made the remarks while announcing a new collaboration with Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions to develop new diesel-electric mining equipment. The agreement involves rolling out hybrid electric drivetrains that are promised to boost sustainability, efficiency and productivity underground.</p><p>Sandvik president Mats Eriksson agreed with Boniwell that it was impractical to abandon diesel.</p><p>“An immediate switch to full battery-electric is not feasible for every operation,” he said.</p><p>These diesel-electric machines are touted to require no torque converter and fewer rotating components, allowing for more flexible design. This is claimed to reduce operating costs and the frequency of maintenance.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-related-articles">Related articles</h2><p><a
