The Importance of Rare Art Minerals in Electric Vehicles

Cork entrepreneur Norman Crowley has signed a deal with a leading global mining company to retrofit some 8,500 diesel mining trucks into electric vehicles over the next three years, with much of this work to take place at sites in the Republic, he tells Ciaran Hancock on today's podcast.

Norman's company Cool Planet Group will carry out some of the work at a new factory it has just completed at Powerscourt, Co Wicklow.

He returns to the podcast to talk about how the businesses that make up his Cool Planet group, including software development, electric vehicle conversion and educational service provision, survived the pandemic and are now poised for rapid growth as the race to decarbonise the economy accelerates.
