Our energy-agnostic decarbonisation solutions form part of Liebherr’s Zero Emission Mining Program. We are committed to meeting three decarbonisation targets within the Program:

By 2022, offer low-carbon solutions for Liebherr Mining’s full range of hydraulic excavators and off-highway trucks.

Today, we offer a range of low-carbon solutions for our excavators and off-highway trucks to help customers take their first steps towards decarbonisation. Our trucks and excavators can both run on hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and are available with Tier 4 final engines, providing significant reductions in greenhouse gas, nitrogen oxide, and particulate emissions. All of our mining excavators from Generation 7 onwards come with our proprietary engine and hydraulic management systems – Liebherr Power Efficiency – as standard, which can reduce fuel consumption by up to 20% without compromising the machine's performance. And all of our off-highway trucks are compatible with the Liebherr Trolley Assist System, which connects a truck’s drive system to a mine’s power grid, subsequently reducing fuel consumption and facilitating increased productivity through faster speed on grade.

Facilitate the reduction of emissions, taking the entire value chain into account.

The third objective targets carbon reduction for Scope 1 and 2, and relevant Scope 3 categories other than Scope 3 Category 11. This will be defined at the Liebherr Group level. In 2022, the Liebherr Group published its corporate responsibility policy, which summarised the Group’s responsibility towards both people and the environment. This policy defined the Group’s objectives and commitments for social responsibility, sustainable business management, health, safety and the environment. As part of the corporate responsibility policy, the Group is currently conducting a business-wide analysis of the emissions of its diversified product portfolio and will publish information in 2024.
