Epiroc wins large order in Chile for mine trucks and digital solutions

Pucobre has ordered a large fleet of Minetruck MT65 S haulers, one of the world’s largest underground mine trucks, for use in the company’s copper mines; Punta del Cobre, Granate, and Mantos de Cobre. The Chile-based company, a long-standing customer of Epiroc, also ordered a package of digital solutions that provides, among other things, advanced monitoring and performance tracking of the machine fleet which will boost fleet efficiency and lower emissions. 

The order, including the digital solutions, is valued at around MSEK 235 and was booked in the second quarter 2025. Epiroc will also provide service and spare parts for the equipment.

“We are happy to strengthen our collaboration with Pucobre further as it upgrades its mines to become even more modern, cost efficient, and sustainable,” says Helena Hedblom, Epiroc’s President and CEO. “By adding on our leading digital solutions, Pucobre will achieve long-term efficiency gains, and even better progress towards its sustainability goals.”

Sebastián Ríos, Pucobre’s CEO, says: “At Pucobre, we are committed to driving more modern, safer, and more sustainable mining operations. The addition of the MT65 S fleet and Epiroc’s digital solutions will allow us to optimize our processes, reduce costs, and advance our environmental goals with cutting-edge technology.”

Epiroc’s Minetruck MT65 S, with 65 ton load capacity, is engineered with safety, productivity and operator comfort in mind for haulage in larger underground mining and construction operations.

The digital solution Fleet+ and the add-on solution Fleet+ ShiftGoals ordered by Pucobre provide visibility into machine performance and goal tracking via the My Epiroc interface. Benefits include reduced fuel consumption, improved fleet utilization and increased operator safety. Pucobre also ordered Asset Health Information Service, which delivers high-frequency sensor data and alerts through integration with the customer’s own systems, which in turn supports advanced monitoring and performance tracking of the machine fleet.
