MacLean Engineering
EV SERIES
|
The MacLean EV Series product line gives our customers access to best-in-class technology, and then successfully integrates these components into mobile underground equipment by leveraging our multi-discipline engineering expertise, hard rock mining knowledge, and custom manufacturing experience. In other words, you can’t just understand the battery cycle, you need to understand the mining cycle in which it will be used.
MACLEAN EV SERIES™ – LEADING THE CHARGE… EV-READY, NOW
In 2015, we turned our product development attention towards designing a battery powered fleet that would respond to the mining industry’s growing need for cost containment through energy and mine design efficiencies, along with improving underground air quality for miners.

In 2016, we sold our first battery electric vehicle unit and by the end of 2019, we had sold 31 battery electric vehicle units, across five separate model lines. To date, MacLean has sold and commissioned battery electric production support mining vehicles at nine mine sites across three Canadian provinces, amassing some 40,000+ operating hours.
MacLean is now taking its ‘EV-proven, EV-ready’ message to the mining world - for production support mining vehicles, considering the benefits of incremental battery electric vehicle introduction to allow for workforce training and supporting operator buy-in, which will pave the way for broader fleet electrification down the road.
THE BIG DIFFERENTIATOR:
Depth of BEV experience and expertise within utility vehicle and ground support equipment categories – global technology leadership
Ease of introduction from on-board charging design - no new electrical infrastructure required
Ability to lease batteries to address site-level questions around end-of-life battery management – financial flexibility
