Keeping fleets running in remote, demanding environments puts constant pressure on fuel budgets, maintenance schedules, and uptime. Electrification often sounds promising — but only if it performs without creating new operational complexity.
That’s where EPEQ® Electrified Power Equipment® has proven its value.
Over 18 months in an active mining operation, Vanair®, a Lincoln Electric Company, demonstrated that battery‑powered EPEQ® Systems can withstand punishing remote conditions while reducing fuel use and ongoing maintenance demands — without sacrificing performance.
Real‑World Impact on Fuel Use and Operating Costs
In a typical eight‑hour service call, conventional service trucks burn 10–15 gallons of diesel, largely to keep the engine idling to power tools and equipment. With EPEQ®, fuel consumption drops to 2–3 gallons per day, delivering thousands of dollars in annual savings per truck.
For mining, aggregate, and other large‑scale operations, those savings multiply quickly across the fleet — directly lowering total cost of ownership while maintaining productivity.
How EPEQ® Delivers Reliable Fleet Electrification
EPEQ® components are designed to support the exact work fleet managers depend on every day:
- EPEQ® EPTO Hydraulic System – Operate cranes and lift heavy equipment using battery power — no traditional engine‑driven PTO required.
- EPEQ® AIR45 Rotary Screw Air Compressor – Delivers up to 45 CFM at 150 PSI to support pneumatic tools, tire service, and jobsite repairs.
- EPEQ® Idle Management (EPEQ® IM) – Automatically shuts down the vehicle engine while keeping power available — cutting fuel consumption, engine hours, and maintenance costs.
Built Where Failure Isn’t an Option
For fleet managers evaluating electrification, mining environments represent the ultimate proving ground. If battery‑powered systems can deliver dependable performance there, they can perform across virtually any application. EPEQ® Electrified Power Equipment® is already doing exactly that — helping fleets increase uptime, reduce operating costs, and electrify with confidence.
