bauma 2025: Mining Challenge

The global mining industry faces the challenge of securing the economic supply of raw materials while minimizing negative impacts on the environment, climate and people. Dealing with this “mining challenge” is one of the key topics of bauma 2025. It shows which innovative solutions will be used to make mining even more efficient, safe and sustainable in the future.

Many mining companies have set themselves ambitious targets for reducing emissions in the interests of climate protection, but also for reducing exhaust emissions underground for operational benefits. One approach to decarbonization that has been pursued for some time is the switch to alternative drives. At bauma 2025, this trend will continue with a wealth of ideas. For example, the manufacturer Aramine is presenting the L440B, the only battery-powered charger to date that does not require a fixed infrastructure for charging in the mine. Instead, it has an integrated charger that can be used to charge it anywhere as long as a power connection is available. This saves expensive and complex installations. As the machine’s battery unit can be easily connected and disconnected, it is possible to carry out work without interruption thanks to the alternating use of two batteries.

In order to generate the electricity used in the machines directly in the mine with zero local emissions, Aramine and its partner company Tysilio also offer solar power plants that can be transported by container and set up quickly—a concept that benefits in particular remote locations.

Giant excavator with power cable

Komatsu is bringing a true titan among electrified mining machines to the Bavarian capital: The PC7000-11E large hydraulic excavator, which is powered by a power cable, is equipped with a class-leading 44 m³ backhoe bucket. It combines high digging power with a low carbon footprint. The automatic winding of the cable makes maneuvering in open cast mining safe and easy.

Autonomous solutions in different dimensions

Another mining giant that also combines decarbonization with the topic of “autonomous driving”, highly relevant especially in mining, is the T 264 dump truck. Developed by Liebherr in collaboration with the Australian mining group Fortescue, the machine is equipped with a 3.2 MW battery and has a payload of 240 tons.

The battery powered S1 Vision, also from Liebherr, transports material autonomously—but in a completely different way. The new single-axle vehicle only has two tires, which allows it to turn on the spot and drive in all directions, making it ideal for use in confined spaces. It is scalable and can carry a payload of 220 kilograms to 131 tons. The S1 Vision has been nominated for the bauma Innovation Award in the machine technology category.

Networking machine data with each other

Digital transformation plays a key role in optimizing mining processes. One of the innovations on show at bauma 2025 in this area is the Underground Manager 2.0. Epiroc’s digital solution for tunnel construction projects seamlessly connects machine data from different units. The platform supports the management of drilling, grouting and anchoring works and acts as a centralized system for streamlined project execution. The Underground Manager 2.0 enables precise planning, real-time performance evaluation and comprehensive operational reporting.

Intelligent thanks to on-board diagnostics

The Universa 55 from Paus is the next, smart generation of a compact carrier machine for various mining tasks. With their on-board diagnostics, the driver can monitor important operating data in real time, including the sensors of the control elements. The system also supports the diagnosis of active faults, enabling timely intervention to minimize downtime. In addition, the vehicle is pre-equipped as standard with an interface for connecting to a cloud solution from Paus, which offers functions such as real-time monitoring, geofencing, statistical analyses and remote diagnostics and maintenance.
