SYDNEY -- As pressure builds on the carbon-intensive mining industry to slash emissions, leading Australian players are rushing to decarbonize their truck fleet using a range of options from hydrogen to battery-powered vehicles.
Fortescue Metals Group in June designed and built a hydrogen-powered haul truck -- "the first of its kind in the world," said Julie Shuttleworth, CEO of green technology unit Fortescue Future Industries. Site tests are scheduled to begin by June 2023.
