Reborn Electric Motors participated in the world's largest conference on electrification in mining
The Chilean company dedicated to the manufacture of electric buses exposed its progress at The Electric Mine 2023, where the CEO of the brand detailed the role of the company in one of the most ambitious mining transport electrification projects on the planet.
Reborn Electric Motors (REM) participated in The Electric Mine 2023, the world's largest mining electrification conference that brought together some of the most relevant companies in the industry.
The Chilean brand was invited to the event for having a fundamental role in one of the largest plans that have been implemented in mining, the División El Teniente project, in Rancagua.
This has been developed since 2020 to date, where Reborn, in coordination with the El Teniente team, implemented the complete electrification of the transport of personnel who work inside the mine through the manufacture and conversion of 104 electric buses. , replacing the diesel models that operated on site.
“One of the differentiating characteristics of Reborn in this conference is the magnitude of our project in conjunction with División El Teniente. We have carried out one of the largest projects presented, generating an electromobility solution that has completely transformed DET's personnel transport operation inside the mine, making it 100% electric. This achievement demonstrates our ability to implement effective and cutting-edge solutions, marking an industry milestone and setting a standard for electrification in the mining sector,” said Reborn Electric Motors co-founder and CEO Felipe Cevallos.
For three days, the invited companies held talks and presentations where they delved into the technologies and projects they have developed in the area, with the aim of expanding knowledge among them to advance the decarbonization of transportation in the mining operation.
The executive, who led the presentation of Reborn at The Electric Mine, also referred to the tour in northern Chile carried out by the startup, where REM models were put to the test in the Atacama desert (characterized by its low humidity and high temperatures) and open pit mines, obtaining positive results.
"As a company that grows daily, we are proud to represent our country internationally, in order to demonstrate that cutting-edge technology can be developed in Chile, move towards less polluting models and decarbonize the mining operation," Cevallos concluded.
