The best of two worlds

The Minetruck MT66 S eDrive has been completely redesigned to feature an electric drivetrain, powered by the strongest engine yet in Epiroc’s line-up of underground mine trucks. With several other upgrades, such as weight reduction of the frame allowing for an additional ton in the box, and better utilization of the engine’s sweet spot, the truck can reach up to 11% higher ramp speed compared to current models.

The Minetruck MT66 S eDrive combines the cost-effectiveness of a diesel truck with the productivity of an electric one.

Equipped with many smart features, such as automatic brake testing, hill descent assist, and hill-hold function, among others, this underground mine truck ensures the safety of both the operator and the operation.

By replacing the mechanical drivetrain with an electric drive, this mine truck benefits from an extended lifecycle, increased availability, and improved utilization rates.
