ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The shift to electric equipment in the mining industry is a significant development that could have far-reaching consequences for Australian dealers

What it means for the order bank

As Fortescue and other mining companies transition to electric equipment, dealers may see an increase in demand for electric and hybrid vehicles and equipment

The 'real zero' target set by Fortescue is a clear indication that the company is committed to reducing its environmental impact, and dealers should be prepared to support this goal

Competitor response and market trends

Other mining companies and industries may follow Fortescue's lead and transition to electric equipment, creating new opportunities for dealers who are prepared to adapt

Dealers who can provide electric and hybrid vehicles and equipment, as well as the necessary support and maintenance services, will be well-positioned to capitalize on this trend

Taking action

This week, dealers can start by researching the electric and hybrid equipment needs of their mining industry clients and developing a plan to meet those needs, in order to stay ahead of the competition and support the growing demand for sustainable equipment
