Mining Magazine Future Fleets E-Report - 2021

The inaugural Future Fleets Report is a comprehensive review of the most innovative fleets in place across the leading mines and development projects in the industry. It attempts to quantify how this equipment is being deployed, how it is changing operations, the next steps for innovation and, wherever possible, how much capital is being invested.

Find out and discover:

- What equipment suppliers are companies using?

- Are investments in fleets delivering on targeted ROIs?

- What trends in equipment are emerging?

METHODOLOGY:

The data for our analysis has been aggregated through a global research effort, using basic desktop resources combined with qualitative interviews with operators and suppliers wherever possible. Each profile considers 11 categories: mine type, location, commodity, production, ownership, equipment, operation overview, commencement date, investment/capex, investment drivers, and next steps/outlook.

The numbers were crunched according to both number of units on site as well as brand. We are in the process of creating a cost index to provide a more accurate picture of the investment required according to both fixed costs and variable costs, such as purchasing new equipment or retrofitting existing fleets.
