An electric personality
Max Planck once said that “science advances one funeral at a time”. His point was that for any progress to be made in scientific endeavours, old thinking must be put to rest. Such is the case with electrification. Dr Nesimi Ertugrul, an associate professor at the University of Adelaide’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, shares his thoughts on why the time is ripe for the change to electric at mine sites.

Mining’s electric shift solidifies
Recent battery-electric vehicle (BEV) trials and fleet deployments have shown that scaling electrification cannot hinge solely on sustainability, bringing the focus back to performance and mine economics.
Sandvik perspective
175 years at mining’s cutting edge
In 2026, Sandvik’s Mechanical Cutting division will mark 175 years since operations began at its site in Zeltweg, Austria. Few industrial operations can point to such continuity. Fewer still have remained relevant by consistently adapting to new technologies, materials and mining methods over nearly two centuries.
