The global dump truck and mining truck industry is estimated to reach $92.1bn by 2031 (Allied Market Research, 2023), double the 2021 value of $45.5 billion. This means that more trucks will be put into service, adding to the existing 56,000 mining trucks (90 metric tons or above) that are active at surface mines worldwide (The Parker Bay Company, 2023), posing even greater challenges for fleet management.
