Electrifying Heavy Mobility
Heavy mobility equipment plays a critical role in mining operations, where uptime, payload, and reliability directly impact productivity. As pressure mounts to reduce emissions and manage long-term operating costs, electrification is becoming a practical consideration rather than a distant ambition.
Alta enables the electrification of haul trucks and loaders through hybrid and battery electric systems designed for real operating conditions.
Our approach prioritises scalability and risk management, enabling fleets to transition progressively without compromising performance or operational continuity. Rather than forcing full replacement, Alta works within existing fleet realities, supporting retrofit and new-build pathways that scale from pilot vehicles through to production deployment.
Benefits
Future-Ready Platforms
Architectures are developed with long-term electrification in mind, allowing progression toward higher levels of battery electric operation as infrastructure and
technology mature.
Reduced Operational Risk
Hybrid and partial electrification pathways allow operators to lower diesel reliance
while maintaining duty cycles, payload,
and availability.
Scalable Transition
Begin with a single pilot vehicle and expand toward fleet-wide electrification. Alta’s systems are designed to support staged adoption rather than one-off conversions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Haul trucks operate continuously (Seriously. Non stop!) and are among the largest contributors to operational emissions in mining. Electrification provides a pathway to reduce diesel consumption, manage long-term costs, and prepare fleets for tightening decarbonisation requirements without compromising productivity or efficiency.
Full replacement is not always necessary. Many electrification projects focus on retrofitting existing trucks with hybrid or battery electric systems, allowing operators to decarbonise incrementally while extending the life of existing assets.
Hybrid systems are often the most practical starting point, particularly at sites with established diesel infrastructure. They reduce fuel use and emissions while maintaining reliability and avoiding major infrastructure changes upfront.
Early-stage projects, especially hybrid retrofits, can often proceed with minimal infrastructure changes. Charging and energy systems are typically introduced progressively as projects scale and site conditions allow.
Projects usually start with technical scoping and feasibility assessment, followed by a pilot or prototype vehicle. This staged approach allows performance and integration to be validated before any production rollout is considered.
