As the sector faces increasing pressure to reduce emissions and enhance efficiency, the report reveals that 52% of industry insiders believe investment in fleet electrification infrastructure remains insufficient. With mining responsible for an estimated 4-7% of global emissions, addressing these gaps is essential for meeting sustainability targets.
The report, based on a comprehensive survey of 224 industry professionals, provides insights into current adoption rates and future priorities. While automation is expected to be the dominant driver of expenditure by 2030, the shift to low-emission vehicles remains hindered by technological readiness and infrastructure limitations.
Methodology
The report is based on a survey of 224 mining professionals, including mining companies (both producing and non-producing), investment firms, and METS (Mining Equipment, Technology, and Services) companies. Respondents came from diverse regions, with 27% from Australia, 16.5% from the U.S., 9.4% from Canada, and 23% from Europe.
