Now in its fourth edition, the Mining Magazine Intelligence Future Fleets Report continues to identify the operations and developments worldwide that use the most advanced fleets. The MMI Future Fleets Report 2023 contains an exclusive group of 82 operations – up 14% on last year’s number – that use truly innovative technologies. The 2023 report expands on the global, regional and equipment-specific trends found in previous years’ research.
One of the barriers to a greater take-up in future-looking fleet technologies was the higher capital cost for such machines, but the growing pressure from governments and investors has forced miners to tackle the greenhouse-gas emissions their fleets produce.
However, the report finds that the path to decarbonisation is winding, and companies are looking to hybrid technologies that combine the familiarity of diesel fleets with the CO2-cutting benefits of battery-electric and hydrogen vehicles.
Methodology
The data for our analysis have been aggregated through a global research effort, using basic desktop resources combined with qualitative interviews with operators and suppliers wherever possible. Each operation profile considers 13 categories: mine type, commodity, location, ownership, production, digitalisation programs/software, operation, commencement date, infrastructure, hardware, digitalisation drivers, digitalisation investment, and next steps/outlook. Each company/corporate profile considers: headquarters, listing, mine type, commodity, location, production, digitalisation programs/software, operation, commencement date, infrastructure, hardware, digitalisation drivers, digitalisation investment, and next steps/outlook.
