OUR NEWS AND INSIGHTS

In heavy industry, where projects are complex, capital-intensive, and built to last, the way you manufacture matters. The choice of manufacturing model can influence how much flexibility you have, how easily you can adapt over time to new technological changes, and how well your solution integrates into real-world operations. Contract manufacturing offers a pathway that supports integration, collaboration, customisation, and long-term scalability. At Alta Technology , we app

The mining industry is at a pivotal technological crossroads. Much like how the music industry's transition from CDs to digital downloads positioned artists perfectly for the streaming revolution, today's mining operations face a similar transformative opportunity with hybrid retrofits. At Alta Technology , we see hybrid retrofits not just as steppingstones to decarbonisation, but as the groundwork for a comprehensive technological ecosystem that will define industry leaders

Australia’s mining industry, central to the nation’s economy, is under increasing pressure to decarbonise operations and meet stringent environmental standards. In line with this global shift towards sustainability and reducing carbon footprints, Alta Technology, a pioneer in battery and electrification technologies, has introduced the PureTraction™ suite—A modular electrification system designed specifically for mining haul trucks. This suite offers both retrofitting soluti

In response to climate change, the Australian rail industry is making significant strides towards decarbonisation, collectively aiming to hit net zero emissions by 2050. The Battery Electric Tender (BET) project, led by Alta in partnership with Aurizon and supported by ARENA funding, is at the forefront of this transformation. The Need for Decarbonisation in the Rail Industry The urgency to reduce global carbon emissions has cast a spotlight on the rail sector, which emits

Alta Battery Technology , a pioneer in battery technology innovation for power decarbonisation, has entered a collaboration with Aurizon , Australia's largest rail freight provider, and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to deliver create the world’s first battery capable of connecting machinery to renewables, converting them to a hybrid operation. The project, which has received $9,406,212 funding from ARENA , will see Alta design and construct a prototype batt

Our Perspective The key to electrification has always been limited by 2 factors. The ability to store large amounts of energy and the ability to do so quickly. As battery makers continue to grow and advance, doubling their storage capacity every 5 years, DC/DC converters will also need to push the ceiling of voltage and speed of operations. Taking on more challenging projects in the heavy machinery world and allowing trickle down technology to benefit the wider manufacturin

Our Perspective As the trajectory of lithium battery technology advances at an unprecedented pace, organisations should prudently integrate these innovations into their economic and operational frameworks. While initiating pilot projects involving batteries is crucial for acclimating the workforce to the impending technological shift, it's essential to resist the allure of a complete transition to battery-powered operations just yet. Exercising strategic patience is likely to
