Mining's Emissions Challenge

The mining industry needs to urgently tackle its diesel emissions and cut fossil fuel dependence. Fortescue is leading the charge with an ambitious goal to replace its diesel haul trucks with eco-friendly alternatives, aiming for a zero-emission fleet by 2030.

Introducing Roadrunner

Developed in partnership with Liebherr, this 240-tonne battery-electric haul truck is engineered to transform the industry. Powered by a 1.4 MWh battery from our Williams Advanced Engineering (WAE) team, it offers rapid 30-minute charging and energy regeneration during downhill driving, setting a new standard for sustainable mining.
