BEML Limited, based in Mysuru, India, has unveiled its first indigenous 60-tonne Electric Dump Truck, named BH60-EV. The launch, held on Wednesday, represents a major advancement in the development of high-capacity electric mobility solutions for the mining and infrastructure sectors. Shantanu Roy, CMD of BEML, virtually inaugurated the vehicle in the presence of key personnel from the company.
BEML describes the BH60-EV as a significant step towards creating advanced, sustainable and technology-driven solutions for heavy industry. The vehicle, built at BEML’s Mysuru complex, boasts a high payload capacity along with state-of-the-art electric powertrain technology and operator-centric engineering.
