Volvo Group experience with tipper type trucks in mining includes at Brønnøy Kalk AS in Velfjord, Norway where since 2019, six autonomous Volvo FH trucks have been transporting limestone from an open pit mine about 5 km to a primary crusher. There the customer buys a hub to hub transport service and pays per tonne of material delivered. On the responsible sourcing side, the multi-materials partnership will allow Rio Tinto to progress sustainability commitments in its operations and supply chains. It will support Volvo Group in its ambition towards a net-zero future. The partnership aims to secure supplies of materials including lithium, low-carbon aluminium, copper, and metallics. Rio Tinto Chief Executive Jakob Stausholm said: "We look forward to partnering with Volvo to progress our contribution to a net-zero future, as we collaborate to deliver sustainable outcomes from the mine to the showroom floor.
