LIEBHERR AND FORTESCUE ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP FOR DEVELOPMENT OF AUTONOMOUS HAULAGE SOLUTION
The onsite validation of a fleet of four T 264 autonomous trucks, along with the AHS, is currently taking place at a purpose-built facility at Fortescue’s Christmas Creek mine site. www.liebherr.com An autonomous T 264 during onsite validation at Fortescue’s Christmas Creek mine, Western Australia. Building on the ongoing cooperative efforts between Liebherr and Fortescue, the two companies will further combine their areas of expertise to develop and validate an Autonomous Haulage Solution (AHS). The AHS will be integrated with the zero emission haul trucks that the companies are currently co-developing, with the aim to be the first AHS operating zero emissions vehicles globally. In August 2023, Liebherr announced the deployment of a fleet of four T 264 autonomous trucks in Western Australia for onsite validation, which marked the next stage of Liebherr’s development of a new autonomy product for the mining industry. This onsite validation is currently taking place in partnership with Fortescue at its Christmas Creek mine site, in a purpose-built facility for validating zero emission and autonomous haulage technologies. Building the future together Liebherr and Fortescue’s partnership to develop and validate the AHS was formalised in March 2023. Since then, the team has finalised the definition of the System and is now developing the System’s extensive features and functionalities for validation. A perfect match: Liebherr machines working together in the Pilbara. As part of the AHS development, Liebherr and Fortescue will develop an integrated Fleet Management System and a Machine Guidance Solution, capable of being used independently on human-operated sites. Upon completion of system validation, the Autonomous Haulage Solution will be deployed across Fortescue mine sites. The AHS – including the Fleet Management System and Machine Guidance Solution – will also be made available to customers worldwide as part of Liebherr’s expanding technology portfolio. www.liebherr.com Powered by Induportals Media Publishing
