The Electric Echidna — Mining Truck

as an emblem for an electric mining truck? The answer is that the echidna is an iconic Australian monotreme — sometimes known as spiny anteaters, they are quill-covered monotremes . The four extant species of echidnas and the platypus are the only living mammals that lay eggs and the only surviving members of the order Monotremata. And yes, they suckle their young.

“Maintenance on the Bortana EV is similar to other EVs, there are far fewer moving parts so the likelihood for wear and tear is reduced and as such maintenance focuses more on inspection than on greasing and oiling components or replacing filters.

A typical commercial ute will only last 12–18 months in the wet, salty, and acidic environment of a mine, but the Bortana ute — based on an Agrale chassis built for the Brazilian jungle and the Brazilian army — is expected to last more like 7–10 years. The Bortana EV is currently being produced as a single cab, with dual-cab and people-mover options to come in 2023. It boasts an impressive 160kW output motor, 350Nm of torque, and 2 tonne payload.
