The SEA 300-85 is set to become a feature on the roads of Western Australia

SEA Electric is celebrating the first Australian produced all-electric truck to roll off its production line since becoming a fully-fledged OEM earlier this year. Delivered to leading mining company Mineral Resources (MRL), the SEA 300-85 is set to become a feature on the roads of Western Australia.

Constructed from a Semi Knocked Down (SKD) kit at SEA Electric’s Melbourne facility, the truck is finished with the latest SEA Electric badging and branding, complete with its own compliance plate and full factory warranty.

Rated to 8.5 tonnes, the SEA 300-85 is specified with a 138kWh battery driving a 1500Nm motor, which lends itself to a variety of final applications, including dry freight, temperature-controlled freight, as an elevated working platform, or a tipper for municipal use in a range of trims.

Unladen, the combination has a potential range of up to 300km. The truck will take pride of place when MRL goes on the road for community events and roadshows and be used to transport materials between MRL sites.

"It’s incredibly exciting to see the very first truck to roll off our production line; it’s the culmination of years of effort by the entire SEA Electric team dating back to 2012," says Bill Gillespie, SEA Electric president—Asia Pacific. Designed specifically for Australian applications, the trucks are now available through a network of 12 dealerships nationwide.
