Hindustan Zinc launches passenger EVs for employees

In a bid to replace diesel & fossil-fuel based vehicles at Hindustan Zinc's mining locations, the company has launched passenger EVs for employees to reduce carbon footprint.

 

The company recently added to its fleet of electric vehicles, including electric scooters for security staff, passenger EVs at locations, and underground service EV for mines. All these vehicles are in addition to the MoUs that Hindustan Zinc has already signed to introduce BEVs in underground mining operations.  

 

"Our decarbonization journey is not only substituting underground frontline vehicles with electric alternatives but also making this shift in service vehicles, LMVs, and passenger vehicles across our locations. Our aim is that in the next five years' time all machines due replacement are only replaced with battery operated vehicles to realise our vision of zero emission and carbon free mining," said Arun Misra, CEO – Hindustan Zinc.   

 

In a pioneering move to decarbonise Indian Mining, Hindustan Zinc signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) last year with Normet Group Oy and Epiroc Rock Drills AB to introduce battery electric vehicles across its underground mines in Rajasthan.
