Microvast Consortium Led By Shell For Mining Industry Decarbonization

Microvast Holdings Inc MVST has confirmed its participation in a mining industry electrification consortium led by Shell PLC SHEL.
The consortium’s pilot offering of electrification solutions for off-road mining vehicles aims to advance the electrification of mining sites and reduce emissions by shifting away from a long-standing reliance on diesel.
The solutions proposed also include power provisioning and microgrids, ultra-fast charging, and in-vehicle energy storage.
In the consortium, Microvast will deliver a custom high-powered battery solution with ultrafast charging capabilities.
The ultra-high voltage (>1000 VDC) lithium titanium oxide (LTO) lithium-ion battery system to be developed by Microvast has high C-rate capability and long cycle life of up to 20,000 cycles under normal operating conditions.
