Metso has secured more than 100 new Life Cycle Services (LCS) contracts in 2025 with global and regional mining companies and large aggregates producers, extending long-term support across crushing, screening and grinding circuits. The renewed LCS strategy centres on performance-based agreements, OEM spare and wear parts supply, and embedded process expertise to stabilise throughput and equipment availability over multi-year terms. For mine operators, the expansion signals further outsourcing of mill and crusher maintenance, condition monitoring and reliability engineering to a single OEM partner.

Fortescue has acquired US-based Zitara to extend its Elysia battery intelligence platform from cloud-only analytics to combined cloud and on-site precision control for Battery Energy Storage Systems used in mining and heavy industry. Zitara’s embedded software and model-based diagnostics will be integrated with Elysia’s existing fleet-level, cloud-hosted monitoring to manage cell degradation, thermal behaviour and charge–discharge cycles in real time. The move signals tighter control of large-format lithium-ion packs in battery-electric haul trucks, pit-edge BESS and remote microgrids, with potential gains in cycle life and availability.

L&M Radiator’s MESABI® Thermal Management System (MTMS), announced in October 2025, targets heat control for heavy-duty mobile mining equipment using electrified and low-emission powertrains in extreme climates. The modular system is designed for high-vibration, high-dust environments typical of large haul trucks and loaders, integrating engine, battery and power electronics cooling into a single rugged package. For mine operators planning next-generation fleets, MTMS points to tighter thermal envelopes and higher heat rejection demands that will drive radiator sizing, packaging and maintenance strategies.
