Michelin Unveils Integrated Mining Approach at Electra Mining Africa 2026
From 7 to 11 September, Michelin will showcase Michelin Better
Mining Solutions at the Johannesburg Expo Centre, Nasrec (Stand YE05, Yellow
Zone). The exhibit highlights how a total solutions approach—rather than
products in isolation—helps mines extend tyre life, lower fuel consumption, and
reduce downtime.
At the heart of Michelin’s exhibit will be its commitment to
advancing tyre technology for large-scale mining. Michelin will highlight new
developments in 63-inch tyres designed for ultra-class haul trucks, with a
focus on delivering greater durability, longer life and improved productivity
to support mines in reducing operating costs and downtime.
Beyond products, Michelin will demonstrate how combining data with
on-the-ground expertise can unlock further efficiency. Showcasing digital
solutions that provide real-time insight into tyre performance to enable
proactive decisions, alongside advisory services that help optimise mine
infrastructure for better energy use. Michelin will also present its broader
approach to sustainability, including initiatives to support the circular
management of tyres at end of life.
These capabilities will be demonstrated through Michelin’s
partnership with Anglo American Platinum at the Mogalakwena mine in Limpopo.
The collaboration brings together new tyre in-novations, data-driven management
and dedicated support services to improve reliability and asset utilisation.
The results to date reflect how an integrated approach can deliver both
productivity gains and a reduced environmental footprint in a large open-pit
operation.
Michelin will further highlight its integrated portfolio
showcasing tyre innovations for surface mining focused on durability and fuel
efficiency, solutions for underground mining engineered for safety and
reliability in demanding conditions, and applications for construction and
mate-rial handling. All will be supported by smart technologies designed to
deliver safer and more efficient tyre performance to help operations reduce
downtime and operating costs.
“At Michelin, we see mining through the lens of People, Planet and
Profit. This means putting people first, reducing impact on the planet, and
driving profit through efficiency. Our ambition is to move beyond the tyre as a
commodity and provide integrated solutions that make operations safer, more
productive and more sustainable across Africa,” says Amaury Vadon MD and VP for
Michelin SSA.
