Project context:
Mining haul trucks operate under variable load, haul-road and duty-cycle conditions. The project converted equipment and operating data into practical fuel-reduction recommendations.
Expanded objectives:
-
Integrate haul-truck telemetry, fuel-related signals, payload, route, grade, speed, engine load and cycle data.
-
Develop predictive models that separate unavoidable fuel consumption from controllable operating losses.
-
Identify opportunities in idling, speed management, haul-road condition, payload control and truck-shovel interactions.
-
Translate analytical outputs into practical recommendations for operators, maintenance planners and site leadership.
-
Create a verification approach to compare baseline and post-intervention fuel performance.
Value delivered:
Improved fleet fuel-consumption visibility and established a model-based pathway for reducing truck operating cost and emissions.
