In early September 2026, the first two of 12 crystallizer superloads safely arrived at Thacker Pass following their journey from Plymouth, Utah, marking a major milestone in delivering critical lithium processing equipment.
“Seeing the first two crystallizers arrive on site this week is a proud moment for the entire transportation and logistics team,” said Keith Lincoln,
@LithiumAmericas Transportation & Logistics Consultant. “Getting oversized equipment of this scale safely from Plymouth, Utah to Thacker Pass took months of coordination with NDOT, state patrol, our carriers and the communities along the route. Our first delivery was a success. It went smoothly and it gives us a strong operational baseline as we move into a sustained cadence of shipments over the coming weeks. We're grateful to the communities along Highway 50 and beyond for their patience and cooperation, and we'll keep working closely with NDOT to keep these routes safe for everyone.”
Superload schedules will be shared through
