Sandvik to supply its largest-ever BEV fleet to South32

Sandvik’s largest-ever BEV fleet order, which was booked in Q2 2025, includes six Sandvik DS412iE bolters, five Sandvik DD422iE development drills, four Sandvik DL422iE longhole drills, four Toro® LH518iB loaders and three Toro® TH665iB trucks. The South32 order also includes 20 units of conventional equipment: five Toro® TH551i trucks, five Sandvik DS422i cable bolters, four Toro® TH663i trucks, four Toro® LH517i loaders and two Sandvik DU412i longhole drills. Several of the conventional units ordered may ultimately be manufactured and delivered as BEVs.

Deliveries are expected to begin in Q4 2026 and continue through 2030.

“We’re proud that Sandvik BEVs will help contribute to an increased supply of critical minerals, supporting the continued electrification of society and global green transition,” said Mats Eriksson, President of Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions. “Lower fuel expenses and maintenance costs coupled with longer equipment lifespan will enable a more efficient, economical and sustainable mining operation at Hermosa.”
