In this episode of the Rethink Mining Podcast, CEO Don Toporowski sits down with Michael Collins, Co-Founder, President, and CEO of Pivot EM, to explore a game-changing approach to electrification in mining. With a staggering 46,000 diesel haul trucks operating worldwide, full replacement with new electric vehicles seems financially unfeasible. But what if instead of buying new, we retrofitted these giants? Michael shares Pivot EM’s pioneering solution to retrofit diesel trucks with high-efficiency battery systems—driving down operating costs, slashing emissions, and meeting the industry’s carbon targets without the prohibitive capital costs. Dive in to discover how this innovation could redefine mining, with insights on the technology, challenges, and pilot projects setting the stage for an electric future.
