BIG PICTURE

Tocopilla port

Chile

This striking aerial panorama of the Tocopilla port has a bigger sustainability picture. Lithium producer SQM has introduced Chile’s first high-tonnage electric truck to be used in large-scale mining onto an 86kms route from its Coya Sur plant in María Elena to the port. The 90 diesel trucks which currently make this journey cover an estimated 7,500kms per month.
