Podcast Caterpillar to provide fully electric mine fleet to Nouveau Monde Graphite

Nouveau Monde Graphite CEO Eric Desaulniers on his ground-breaking electric mining deal with Caterpillar. This is a very exciting global news story that we have been able to bring to Content for Industry listeners. In this episode, host Peter Haddock talks exclusively to Eric about the deal he has signed with the Caterpillar Mining team to deliver the first fully electric battery-powered Caterpillar mining fleet in the World. It's an amazing story that will help to transform the mining industry into a greener and more environmentally productive sector. 

The circular 'green' economy mine will see the Caterpillar fleet mine the graphite needed to create the batteries they run on! What is also super exciting is that the power they use will also be green, as it comes from hydroelectric power generation, which is fed into the site through a high voltage cable.

Both companies will work together to develop and test the technology, sharing the journey to battery mining with other global players, so that everyone can benefit. The knowledge gathered will also support the next generation of machines, as technology and the mine move forward.

Peter and Eric even talk about the potential for hydrogen and how Nouveau Monde Graphite will be at the cutting edge of every advancement in the future. It's a fascinating subject, and We hope you will enjoy listening to this edition. And thanks to Leica Geosystems for supporting this latest episode.
