Global decarbonisation targets are tightening—and South African industry is catching up fast. From solar-powered mines to hydrogen-fueled trucks, the transition is underway. Here’s how you can lead your fleet through the change in three strategic steps.
Why the Shift is Inevitable
Investor pressure, tighter regulations, and rising energy costs make diesel unsustainable long-term. South Africa’s Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP) is now actively incentivising capital investment in clean transport and power.
Phase 1: Data Readiness
Before you switch, benchmark your current footprint. Diesel Cubed helps fleets measure fuel burn, idle time, and CO2 emissions—highlighting which assets to target first.
Phase 2: Hybrid Integration
High-draw systems like PTOs or refrigeration can run on electric or solar-assist modules. Diesel Cubed already supports hybrid ECU protocols, keeping your telematics and reports in one dashboard.
Phase 3: Full Electrification Roadmap
As infrastructure matures, stagger your shift to electric or hydrogen trucks. Sync asset replacements with technology cost curves for maximum ROI.
ROI Snapshot
Gold Fields’ 50 MW solar project powers 24% of its South Deep operations—cutting load-shedding exposure and saving millions annually.
