Liebherr Mining and Fortescue have successfully converted an excavator from a diesel to an electric powertrain. The repowered machine was commissioned at Fortescue’s Christmas Creek mine site in Western Australia.

This is the first time in Liebherr’s more than 40 years of working with electric excavators that the company has repowered one of its excavators from diesel to electric configuration during the standard service life of the machine. A hydrogen Offboard Power Unit (OPU) designed and developed by Fortescue will be used to power the newly converted R 9400 E and is currently undergoing site-based testing within Fortescue’s purpose-built zero emission testing area at Christmas Creek.

Experts from both Liebherr and Fortescue were involved in the project, which took place at Liebherr-Australia’s Perth branch in Western Australia.
