        "summary": "PT Gaya Makmur Tractors has developed electric vehicles (EVs) tailored for mining operations, which are now ready for industrial use to support the energy transition and reduce fuel costs amid price uncertainties. The adoption of EVs in mining could achieve up to 85% efficiency in fuel savings, with trials already conducted in Indonesia and abroad, including a year-long test in Kalimantan. This development positions Indonesia to advance electrification in its mining sector, backed by robust warranties and standardised charging infrastructure.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Product Support Director of PT Gaya Makmur\nTractors, Surateman, revealed that electric vehicles designed for mining\noperations are ready for use by the industry and support the energy\ntransition. The use of EVs in mining areas is expected to save on fuel\ncosts and anticipate price surges amid uncertainties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of our equipment has already met mining needs through trials,\nincluding excavators, particularly for dump trucks. So these EVs are\nready to assist everyone and can be used as much as possible,\u201d Surateman\nstated at the EV Transition in Mining Industry Outlook 2026 event on\nWednesday (29\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>According to him, amid this situation, demand for EVs in mining is\ninevitable. This is because, without using EVs, capital expenditure for\nmining operations could be more expensive, and maintenance costs would\nalso be very high.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome large companies spend hundreds of millions on fuel; if we can\nachieve 85% efficiency, you can imagine,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Surateman explained that electric technology in heavy equipment for\nmining has been implemented in several countries in recent years,\nparticularly in China. In Indonesia, trials have also been conducted by\nthe GM Group over the past year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe at GM Group, together with one of the largest mining concessions\nin Kalimantan, have been trialling EVs (in mining) for a year now.\nHopefully, we won\u2019t be long in launching 110-ton equipment,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>For durability, there is a 5-year battery warranty with an average\nmining operation of 30,000 hours. For spare parts, GM Group guarantees\nthat every item delivered meets 10 aspects, so there is no need to worry\nabout replacements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have prepared it so there is no need to worry, and for charging,\nif there is other equipment, it can use the same charging, so\nstandardisation proven from us,\u201d Surateman revealed.<\/p>",
