Sandvik has received a large order for battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) from the Canada-based mining company Eldorado Gold, to be used at its Lamaque mine in Val-d’Or, Québec. 

The order includes battery-electric trucks and loaders and follows another large BEV order from Eldorado Gold booked in the third quarter. Deliveries are expected to begin mid-2026 and continue into 2027. With the new orders, the fleet of Sandvik BEVs at the Lamaque mine will grow from two to 12 units. 

“Sandvik BEVs have proven their capability underground at Lamaque, and this order confirms the strength of our battery-electric offering. We are proud to expand our partnership with Eldorado Gold and support their strategy to strengthen efficiency, safety and sustainability in their mining operations,” says Mats Eriksson, president of business area Mining at Sandvik.
