Mining trucks consume 35.3 gallons of diesel per hour with their enormous weight of around 220 metric tonnes and therefore emitting vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The truck will be hybrid, with a hydrogen fuel cell providing roughly half of the power and the other half by a battery pack. Instead of using diesel as a source of power for the motor, hydrogen enters the fuel cell and mixes with oxygen to create water in a chemical reaction catalyzed by platinum, which generates the necessary electricity to power the motors that drive the wheels.
I've long envisioned micro nuclear powered mining equipment that never require fueling during their lifespan.
