The conversion of the R 9400 E underscores the collaborative endeavors of Liebherr and Fortescue in developing emission-free solutions for mining. Specialists from both companies actively participated in the project, conducted at Liebherr-Australia's Perth facility in Western Australia.
          Liebherr expresses its satisfaction with Fortescue's decision to partner in advancing the transition toward a fossil fuel-free mining future. The successful repowering project highlights that the decarbonization of Liebherr machines, originally equipped with diesel engines, is a feasible and impactful initiative," explains Oliver Weiss, Executive Vice President of R&D, Engineering, and Manufacturing for Liebherr Mining.
