credentials – essentially future-proofing an ancient industry for the next generation . GACW has been explicitly told by organisations that , as part of their lower emission goals , they need to be more responsible when it comes to wheel usage . After all , there is only one thing better than recycling wheels and that is not having to recycle them at all .
“ A lot of mining operations want to slash their CO2 emissions by 50-60 % by 2030 and the use of ASW is going to become a big part of that ,” notes Harmen .
Testing times During the long journey from conception to roll-out , mining equipment will reach the hallowed ground of ‘ technology readiness level ’. During trials in South Africa , the ASW successfully reached the proof of concept stage , as the wheels excelled in the fields of durability , versatility , and performance . It also convinced Zoltan and Harmen that the ‘ crazy ’ idea of replacing the rubber tyre could become a stark reality .
