Fortescue Metals has brought 400 giant electric haul trucksFriday 3 Oct 2025 Andrew Forrest’s Fortescue Metals has brought in a new supplier to help deliver the up to 400 giant electric vault trucks that his company will need to meet its ambitious target of reaching “real zero” emissions at its Pilbara iron ore mines by the end of the decade.Forrest announced on Friday that the China-based XCMG, which already supplies electric mining equipment to Fortescue, will supply up to half of Fortescue’s future fleet of 240-tonne electric haul trucks. The company said it will need between 300 and 400 of these giant machines, and says the deal will “strengthen and diversify” its supply chain for battery electric trucks. It says its agreement with Liebherr has been “amended” and it will now provide “at a minimum” the other half of the haul truck fleet and the electric excavators agreed in a partnership announced in September 2024.
