Designed for demanding mining conditions, the electric dump truck features a high-efficiency Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor and offers a payload capacity of 35 tons, with a gross vehicle weight of about 60 tons. It is built for heavy-duty stop-start operations typical of mining sites.

The electric drivetrain delivers 85–90 per cent energy efficiency, significantly higher than conventional diesel-powered equipment. The truck is also equipped with a regenerative braking system to recover energy during operations, especially on downhill stretches. Its 300 kWh lithium-ion battery is supported by a liquid-cooled Battery Thermal Management System to improve safety and extend battery life.

BEML said the platform can deliver 60–70 per cent savings in energy costs and reduce overall operating costs by 40–60 per cent. Lower maintenance requirements, due to fewer mechanical components, further strengthen its cost advantage. Depending on usage intensity, the payback period is estimated at one to two years.

For safety and reliability in harsh environments, the vehicle features IP67/IP68-rated electrical systems and integrated fire protection mechanisms. BEML is also offering scalable charging infrastructure, enabling 0–80 per cent charging in around 60 to 90 minutes to support continuous operations.

Commenting on the launch, Shantanu Roy, CMD, BEML Limited, said that the development reflects the company’s focus on innovation, indigenisation and environmentally responsible engineering solutions.

With this launch, BEML has strengthened its position in mining and construction equipment while supporting India’s push for sustainable industrial growth and self-reliance.

BEML has unveiled India’s first indigenous 35-ton electric dump truck at its Mysuru Complex, marking a notable step in advancing cleaner mining and infrastructure equipment.
