Electric Power Conversions Australia

Electric Power Conversions Australia (EPCA) is the first Australian company to retrofit a 100-tonne mining haul truck from diesel to full battery-electric. Proudly Aboriginal-owned, EPCA is leading the decarbonisation of mining fleets in Western Australia. Founded in 2023 with a vision to decarbonise the mining industry, EPCA designs and installs electric powertrain retrofit technology upgrades to convert diesel heavy haulage mining equipment to battery-electric.

The mining industry is a cornerstone of Australia’s economy, and it is also one of the country’s largest contributors of CO2 emissions. By retrofitting diesel haul trucks to electric, EPCA eliminates up to 1,312 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per truck, per year, the equivalent of what 46,000 trees absorb annually.

EPCA are actively pursuing international opportunities to commercialise their powertrain technology, including developing retrofit kits specifically designed for overseas deployment so mining companies can locally electrify their existing haul trucks in their workshop.

“We joined the RISE Accelerator to expand the export of our retrofit kits to India, where the mining and heavy industrial sectors present a high-impact opportunity for decarbonisation. India’s push toward net-zero and its dependence on diesel-powered fleets in mining make it an ideal market for our solution. We are looking for partnerships that will enable the large-scale electrification of Indian mining fleets.”
