A partnership between two Swiss companies converted a Komatsu dumper truck with a giant 700 kWh battery pack. This single conversion alone has an impressive impact in term of fuel savings and emission reduction.
A typical dumper truck consumes between 50,000 and 100,000 liters of diesel per year, depending on its application, and it can emit between ~131 and 262 tonnes of CO2
....
What is interesting about electrifying dumper trucks is that they are often used to carry ore up and down mines. While diesel trucks burn fuel even on their way down a mine, there’s a great opportunity for electric vehicles to actually gain energy on their way down thanks to regenerative braking.
...
The Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA) expects that the truck will be able to recuperate 40 kWh of its way down the quarry – something the truck does 20 times a day for a total of 800 kWh of energy capacity through regenerative braking.

While this isn't tiny, it is nothing compared to a 238 meter long electric ferry.
I'm not joking...! https://electrek.co/2017/08/24/all-e...c-ferries-abb/

ABB already started installing the more than 4 MWh of battery packs inside each ship
