Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>China sent a fleet of 31 pure electric mining trucks to Africa on Sunday, for use in a copper mining project in Zambia.<\/b><\/p>\n

The trucks are provided by Breton Technology, a Chinese high-tech company specialising in green construction machinery.<\/p>\n

They will be used by an African branch of China\u2019s state-owned company 15th Metallurgical Construction Group.<\/p>\n

“The overseas cooperation [is] the first large-scale deployment of electric mining trucks at one go to a mining project in Africa. It will help further upgrade the local mining equipment”<\/b>, said Li Wenjie, the chairman of China 15th Metallurgical Construction Group’s construction trade company in Africa.<\/p>\n

Breton Technology is responsible for providing a zero-carbon mining robot system, including electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and clean energy technologies.<\/p>\n

“We believe that in the near future, unmanned mining fleets will be seen operating in Africa”,<\/b> said Teng Fei, head of strategy and overseas business at Breton Technology.<\/p>\n

The mining trucks are expected to reach Durban in South Africa after a 20 to 25 days journey.<\/p>\n

China has pledged $5 billion<\/b> to Zambia\u2019s mining industry by 2031, despite controversies surrounding the environmental and social impact of Chinese-owned mines.<\/p>\n

In February, a spill from a Chinese-owned copper mine contaminated a major Zambian river.<\/b><\/p>\n

The failure of a dam at the Sino-Metals Leach Zambia mining facility allowed 50 million litres<\/b> of acidic waste to be released into a stream leading to the Kafue River<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Signs of pollution were detected at least 100 kilometres<\/b> downstream from the facility.<\/p>\n
