26 October 2025 – Alta Battery Technology is delighted to be supporting Aurizon's new agreement with Alcoa to conduct a Battery Electric Tender (BET) trial on Alcoa's Kwinana to Pinjarra route in Western Australia. This milestone is a significant step forward in demonstrating how existing rail assets can be transformed into lower-emission hybrid systems without premature replacement. The Battery Electric Tender is a battery-powered wagon coupled with a modified locomotive, d

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
