IMI Fabi goes electric

Significant event for IMI Fabi and the entire community, thanks to the commissioning of the brand new Scooptram ST14 Battery Epiroc Electric Loader, which implements electro-mobility inside the mine.

This recently delivered loader, having a maximum capacity of 14 MT, is among the first vehicles powered by electric batteries active in underground mining operations in Europe.The ST14B is designed to optimize the production, since its cutting-edge technology is performing, safe, silent, comfortable and with zero-emissions. Furthermore, its electric regeneration and powertrain limits energy consumption especially in presence of slopes.

Having functional minerals produced by IMI Fabi become increasingly important in everyday's life, the company has consequently developed innovative products able to improve performance, reduce waste and C02 emissions.  By developing a sustainable business model, IMI Fabi has  introduced automation and electrification of processes and created good synergy with the stakeholders also in view of the European objectives set for 2030.

IMI Fabi has therefore decided to gradually dismiss fossil fuels used in underground mining for its equipment.  At this purpose, the new Epiroc ST14 loader represents an essential first step towards zero CO2 and other pollutants emissions  inside the mine with tangible benefits for the workplace.
