The company is exploring the introduction of high-capacity trucks and electric vehicles into the sector, according to [EIN Presswire](https://www.einnews.com/article/950505824/live). Auto Gallery is an official partner of the forum, held in Armenia on October 16–17 under the theme \"From Resources to Opportunities.\"\n\n## Auto Gallery's Two Fleet Modernization Paths\n\nGevorgyan said the company offers mining enterprises two avenues for modernizing their vehicle fleets. The first involves vehicles with a higher load capacity than the current Scania models equipped with internal combustion engines. The second is electrification, specifically the use of electric vehicles in the mining industry.\n\n\"The company offers mining enterprises two avenues for modernizing their vehicle fleets. The second, which we would like to discuss today, is electrification specifically, the use of electric vehicles in the mining industry,\" Gevorgyan said.\n\nHe said the company intends to present potential partners with calculations regarding the productivity and economic efficiency of the proposed solutions. \"We want to share our productivity and efficiency projections for these solutions with our partners and work toward implementing them here in the Republic of Armenia,\" he stated.\n\nGevorgyan said the adoption of electric freight vehicles could help reduce operational costs for mining enterprises. \"This is a new offering for the industry. It involves replacing older vehicles with electric trucks, heavy-duty freight vehicles which, based on our assessments and calculations, allow for more efficient resource utilization, lower production costs, and, of course, greater environmental sustainability,\" he said.\n\nGevorgyan also said the company is in discussions regarding the provision of a factory warranty from Scania for electric trucks in Armenia, with a duration of up to ten years. He added that the relevant technologies have already been undergoing testing in European countries for several years.\n\nGevorgyan stated that Auto Gallery also offers enterprises solutions incorporating energy storage systems from CATL. According to him, the company's proposal encompasses the development of the necessary energy infrastructure, the supply of equipment, maintenance services, and financing options.\n\n\"We have proposed a comprehensive solution ranging from the creation of all required infrastructure to the vehicles themselves, their operation, service packages, and, as always, specialized financing tools,\" he declared.\n\nThe company envisions the combined use of electric freight vehicles and energy storage systems as part of the modernization of mining operations. Gevorgyan highlighted the environmental characteristics of electric transport, noting the absence of direct CO₂ emissions during its operation. He stated that the partnership with CATL will enable the company to offer solutions for battery maintenance, extending battery lifespan, and eventual recycling.\n\n\"Through this collaboration, we can also extend the service life of batteries and address the question of their end-of-life disposal an issue that remains unresolved for many,\" said Gevorgyan.\n\n## Mining Armenia Forum 2026 Dates\n\nThe Mining Armenia Forum 2026 was held in Armenia on October 16–17 under the theme \"From Resources to Opportunities.\" The forum focuses on discussions surrounding the technological modernization of the mining industry, enhancing equipment productivity, automation, and the implementation of new energy solutions.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
