The future of industrial operations is evolving and electrification is becoming an increasingly important part of the energy mix powering business. For fleet owners in sectors like mining, agriculture, construction, and material handling, electric solutions are no longer just a long-term ambition. Electrification of fleets is emerging today as a practical solution to enhance efficiency, support emissions reduction goals and help businesses stay competitive in a changing landscape across the industrial sector.
“In 2025, over 60% of Australian mining companies plan to increase investments in sustainable technologies, including electrification of their fleets. — Australian Mining Industry Outlook 2025.
At Oceania Power, in partnership with Volvo Penta, we’re helping businesses take on this transformation with advanced off-highway electrification and e-mobility solutions that are purpose-built for demanding applications. Whether you’re looking to lower emissions, improve efficiency, or stay ahead of industry evolution, future-proofing your fleet through electrification is a real option available today.
How is electrification reshaping fleet operations?
It’s not just about the environmental benefits, it delivers an operational upgrade. Volvo Penta’s electrification platform draws on the proven technologies of the Volvo Group, with in-house battery manufacturing, tested drivetrain systems, and a commitment to sustainability, uptime, and performance.
For fleet operators, this means:
- Lower fuel and maintenance costs
- Quieter, cleaner operations
- Improved performance in stop-start or high-impact environments
- Compliance with tightening emissions regulations

Real-World Applications of Fleet Electrification
When it comes to fleet electrification, it’s all about selecting the right technology for the right job. Here are just a few examples of how Oceania Power and Volvo Penta are bringing electric solutions to life around the world:
Reachstackers – For operations with predictable routes and continuous use cycles, electric reachstackers reduce emissions, lower maintenance costs, and enable efficient charging for closed-loop material handling sites.
Terminal Tractors and Forklifts – These are perfect for stop-start operations at ports and warehouses. With fast charging, zero emissions, and low maintenance needs, they’re ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, especially where air quality and noise need to be considered.
Drill Rigs and Feed Mixers – Electrified drill rigs are a game-changer at environmentally sensitive sites, cutting emissions and improving operator safety. Exhaust-free feed mixers keep enclosed agricultural spaces healthier for both workers and livestock, while reducing fuel costs.
The Business Case for Electrification
It’s more than just meeting sustainability targets, it’s about improving overall operational efficiency and gaining the best return on investment for your organisation. Reduced maintenance downtime, predictable energy costs, and the ability to operate in zero-emission zones all contribute to a more profitable bottom line.
Also, with governments and industries worldwide pushing toward net-zero emissions, having an electrified fleet positions your business to win contracts and partnerships that prioritise environmental responsibility.
Why Future-Proofing Your Fleet Matters Now
When talking about electrification, we’re no longer talking about ’emerging technology’, it’s proven, tested, and in operation across multiple industries as we speak. The opportunity to adopt this future proofing technology and competitive advantage is now capitalising on leveraging the cost savings, performance gains, and compliance advantages of electric equipment.
By starting to convert your fleet to electric now, you can:
- Integrate electrification gradually without disrupting operations
- Take advantage of potential government incentives
- Train your workforce ahead of the curve
- Establish your brand as an industry leader in sustainability
