In this study, we address the issues of
replacement of mining truck with
60.000 operating hours

1. Introduction
In this study, we want to determine for
mining trucks 60,000 hours of operation (8
years) which would have been the time of
replacement and if now is the time to do itreplacement and if now is the time to do it

It uses the methodology of calculation of
equivalent annual costs (EAC) to
determine which year should have

Annual Costs• I : Value of the initial investment or
acquisition cost in year zero

22/30
With the information obtained for this case
study, we can say that:
• The operations and maintenence costs
are increasing over the yearsare increasing over the years
• The availability of the first year of
operation is higher than in the
following years23/30
• The operations and maintenence costs
were strongly influenced by the
strategy change of major and minor
components used
24/30
• This strategy use condition monitoring
to extend the useful life of components,
delaying their return, obtaining
increases in availability and cost
decreases in the early years, movingdecreases in the early years, moving
these non-availability and costs to
future years
25/30
• For the case study, this non-availability
strongly affected in the eighth year of
operation, with availability 13% lower
than in the first year of operation,
resulting in a loss of production due toresulting in a loss of production due to
lack of truck
• For all simulations the time of
replacement is now 26/30
• If the sale of the asset, we can get a
HIGH value sale in the first years of
operation, I should sell it at that time
• Conversely, if the asset sale we can get• Conversely, if the asset sale we can get
a LOW sales value in the first years of
operation, I should sell it after
