SCiB™ has been adopted for electric light vehicle for mining sites

Zero Automotive Pty Ltd sells electric light vehicle for use in underground mining sites. SCiB™ solves not only the exhaust emissions problems that plagued underground mine workers, but also the safety issues that were a concern with conventional lithium-ion batteries. In addition, off-grid mining sites are often located in remote areas, but long life characteristics and high reliability of SCiB™ reduce the total cost and the maintenance cost.
