4 key technologies
on the T 264 Battery
Electric you can see
at Bauma 2025
Under the motto ‘Hands on the future’,
Liebherr presents solutions for the
construction and mine sites of the future at
Bauma 2025. Discover more than 70 exhibits
and a variety of customised solution
concepts at Liebherr's 14,000 m2 booth –
including the T 264 Battery Electric mining
truck. Here are four key technologies you
can see for yourself at this extraordinary
exhibit.
Fortescue Zero
battery
The T 264 Battery Electric on display at
Bauma is powered by a battery instead of an
internal combustion engine, making it
possible for this enormous truck to run
without burning any fossil fuels. The 3.2 MW
battery was developed by Fortescue Zero.
Before Fortescue Zero became part of
Fortescue in 2022, the company – previously
known as Williams Advanced Engineering –
took technology developed for the Williams
Racing Formula One team and adapted it for
other industries! How cool is that?
To complement the field validation of this
battery, Liebherr is building a brand-new test
bench at its drivetrain factory in Biberach,
Germany. With the test bench, it’s possible to
simulate the full-scale battery-electric truck
system in all haul profiles to check how it will
work in different mine sites all over the world.
Static robotic
charger
Static, or stationary, charging is the process
of charging electric vehicles – like the T 264
Battery Electric truck – while parked. At
Bauma, you’ll be able to see Fortescue’s
static robotic charger in action. With its 6 MW
capacity, this charger can charge the T 264
Battery Electric in under one hour!
Liebherr Power Rail
Dynamic charging charges an electric vehicle
while it’s in motion. Liebherr Power Rail is one
of Liebherr’s dynamic charging options for its
battery-electric trucks. It’s a class-agnostic
concept based on Liebherr’s proven trolley
technology. But instead of connecting to
overhead power lines, Liebherr Power Rail will
make it possible for trucks to connect to
power lines at the side of the truck, which
can make the charging infrastructure easier
to install and maintain. This lateral
connection will also allow trucks to navigate
around curves.
Using dynamic charging can also increase
battery-electric trucks’ speed on grade,
meaning they can travel uphill faster! Bauma
visitors will be able to see the Liebherr Power
Rail during live demonstrations at the
Liebherr booth.
Autonomous
Haulage Solution
The T 264 Battery Electric truck at Bauma
features the Autonomous Haulage Solution
(AHS) which will enable the truck to operate
without a driver. This technology is being
developed by Liebherr and Fortescue as part
of our partnership for developing a zero
emission mining ecosystem.
The AHS is being designed with the future in
mind because it will work with both battery-
electric trucks – like the T 264 Battery
Electric at the Liebherr booth – and trucks
with internal combustion engines. Our AHS
will also feature an Energy Management
System, which will monitor the truck fleet’s
energy levels in real time and coordinate the
static recharging of the trucks. The AHS will
even be able to optimise routes and speeds
of the trucks to reduce fuel and energy
consumption and make sure the trucks are
operating as efficiently as possible.
The T 264 Battery Electric Truck is on display
close to the Liebherr Pavilion on the Liebherr
booth.
