Webinar | Extending Asset Life with Hybrid Retrofit
Together with FLANDERS, Thiess is completing the hybrid retrofit of a CAT 793D haul truck to validate the technology under real operating conditions.
This webinar hosted on Oct 6, 2026 offers the latest information on our hybrid project, directly from the engineers.
While the industry works towards fully electrified fleets, thousands of haul trucks still have years of productive life remaining. Hybrid retrofit offers a practical way to reduce fuel consumption and emissions today, without waiting for the next generation of equipment.
Field testing of the first ever CAT 793D will begin later this month.
Thiess and FLANDERS partnership
Thiess recently signed an exclusive distribution agreement to be an authorised installer of FLANDERS hybrid retrofit technology for mechanical-drive haul trucks. The partnership combines world-leading hybrid drive train technology, with Thiess' global asset maintenance capability, engineering expertise, rebuild facilities and field delivery experience.
The hybrid retrofit solution integrates FLANDERS power inversion, battery storage and intelligent control systems with existing truck platforms, creating a practical transition technology that improves both environmental and operational performance.
Where to start with hybridisation
Successful fleet decarbonisation begins with understanding where hybrid technology creates the greatest value.
Thiess works with clients to assess fleet age, rebuild schedules, haul profiles, production requirements and operating costs to identify the most effective hybridisation strategy.
We can help you navigate:
- which trucks should be hybridised,
- how hybridisation can align with a scheduled rebuild,
- does it make sense to combine hybridisation with other technology upgrades such as autonomation and idle management,
- what productivity and fuel savings can be achieved, and
- what these benefits deliver for your project in a $/Tonne output.
For many operations, deeper haul profiles generate the greatest benefits, making financial modelling and fleet analysis critical before implementation.
Hybrid retrofit systems are available for order today, intelligent idle management is already delivering measurable fuel savings, and autonomous haulage has been proven in mining operations for years. Together, these technologies are helping reshape the future of fleets.
Contact Thiess Asset Services to discuss hybridisation for your fleet.
