Proven Through Research & Industry Collaboration
In 2022, Kuuwa partnered with Worley to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study into electrification of mining fleets in Western Australia.
This work provided a clear roadmap for transitioning from traditional vehicles to electric and hybrid fleet hire, while addressing the challenges of remote operations and charging infrastructure.
This foundation means our clients benefit from credible, research-backed solutions that are already in service, not just theory.

OUR EXPERIENCE
Kuuwa Rentals launched in 2019 with a focus on light vehicle hire for mining projects in Western Australia. Since then, our fleet has grown to include buses, trucks and plant equipment, continually adapting to industry needs and project requirements.
In 2021, we began exploring electric vehicle hire options to prepare for the shift towards lower-emission transport. By 2022, we had partnered with Worley to complete a feasibility study on fleet electrification in WA mining, delivering a roadmap of practical solutions for remote and regional projects.
Today, our hybrid and electric fleet hire options are already in operation, helping clients across Western Australia reduce fuel use, cut emissions and maintain site compliance.
Year on year we have adapted to the market’s need and grown our fleet.
Our skilled team of experts works closely with each client to build a bespoke solution that suits the individuality of each project.
Now it is time to build our electric fleet to suit your projects. We have already started work on being able to provide you with electric solutions across our other fleet categories.
