Tonly Heavy Industries is deploying a fleet of hybrid 91 t class wide-body mining trucks to a contractor’s R&D operations in Brazil, extending its off-highway portfolio that already exceeds 70,000 units in service worldwide. The company reports more than 8,000 units delivered to overseas markets and claims that roughly half of all new-energy mining transport units globally are its vehicles. For mine operators, the Brazilian deployment will provide real-world data on fuel–electric performance, haul profiles and maintenance behaviour in a high-production environment.

Kal Tire’s Mining Tire Group has secured exclusive Canadian dealership rights for Transcale Pty Ltd, adding on-board payload monitoring systems to its mining technology services portfolio. The deal enables Kal Tire to supply, install, calibrate and service Transcale truck payload systems across Canadian mine fleets, giving operators real-time data on payload optimisation, haul truck utilisation and tyre loading. For geotechnical and mine operations teams, tighter payload control directly affects pit wall stability, haul road degradation rates and tyre life-cycle planning.

NESCAFÉ in Nestlé Professional has partnered with mental health charity R U OK? as the official “cuppa partner” for Australian mine sites, using routine crib-room coffee breaks to prompt workers to check in on each other. The initiative supplies branded NESCAFÉ materials and R U OK? conversation prompts to remote and FIFO operations, embedding mental health messaging into daily pre-starts and shift-change gatherings. For site leaders, it offers a low-disruption way to reinforce psychosocial risk management and strengthen crew cohesion alongside existing safety systems.
