LDO Group

What LDO Group does

LDO Group is an Australian private industrial services company headquartered in Rutherford, New South Wales, operating three divisions under a unified brand: LD Engineering Services (engineering, fabrication, mechanical, civil, installation and construction services for mining and construction clients), LD Electric Vehicles (LDEV), and LDO Group Training (RTO ID: 91268). LDO Group Training is an ASQA-accredited Registered Training Organisation and Smart and Skilled approved provider delivering nationally recognised vocational training, assessment, and SafeWork NSW licensing across mining, civil construction, manufacturing, rural industry and local government sectors, with facilities in Rutherford, Gunnedah and Dubbo. Pricing across short courses ranges from approximately A$250 for work-at-heights to A$10,000 for Certificate III in Civil Construction Plant Operations, with crane and rigging licences in the A$1,500-A$1,800 band.

The commercial centrepiece of the group is LDEV's exclusive Australasian dealership for Rokion battery-powered electric mining vehicles, manufactured in Canada and sold across Australia and New Zealand in four series: R100 (light-duty), R200 (medium-duty soft rock), R400 (heavy-duty crew transport up to 12 passengers), and R700 (multi-purpose underground utility platform with configurable attachments). Vehicles are built on Rokion's patented Modular Platform Architecture, in which Battery and Drive Modules are interchangeable to minimise downtime, and incorporate LiFePO4 battery chemistry, regenerative braking, Integrated Brake Resistor and Adaptive Speed Control software to enable safe ramp descent at up to 20% grade and 2,500 m vertical rise over 13 km. Vehicle pricing is quote-based; engineering services and infrastructure project work (including North Connex, M6 Tunnel and West Connex in Sydney) are negotiated per project.

LDO Group goes to market through direct enterprise B2B field sales, supported by a website with product, course and calendar pages, a LinkedIn presence via LD Electric Vehicles, and direct phone/email enquiry channels. The integrated model links hardware (Rokion vehicles), workforce certification (LDO Training) and engineering execution (LD Engineering Services), targeting underground mining operators, civil contractors and NSW government-funded training customers across the Hunter region and broader Australasia.

Regional players

• Mastermyne Group: Australian-listed mining services contractor providing underground mining services, equipment hire, and workforce solutions. Comparable as a regional mining services peer with engineering and equipment exposure in the same Australian underground mining market.
• Perenti Global: Australian mining services contractor offering underground hard-rock mining services and equipment solutions. Comparable as a regional mining services peer in the same Australian underground mining market served by LDO Engineering Services.

Emerging players

• BYD Mining Solutions: Chinese EV manufacturer expanding into mining and industrial vehicle applications with battery-electric platforms. Comparable as an emerging BEV player targeting similar electrified industrial vehicle use cases as Rokion/LDO.

Broad incumbents

• Epiroc: Major mining and infrastructure equipment manufacturer with a strong BEV underground vehicle lineup (e.g., Scooptram ST14 SG). Competes with Rokion in the same end-market with significantly greater scale and R&D resources.
• Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions: Global mining equipment OEM offering underground loaders, trucks, and drilling equipment including BEV options. Serves the same underground mining customers as LDO/Rokion but with a much broader portfolio and global footprint.
• Caterpillar Underground Mining: Global leader in mining and construction equipment with expanding battery-electric offerings for underground applications. Represents the largest competitive threat to LDO's niche BEV mining vehicle position.
• Volvo Construction Equipment: Global construction and mining equipment OEM with electric construction and quarry vehicle offerings. Comparable in targeting electrification of heavy industrial vehicles, though primarily focused on surface applications.
• Komatsu Mining: Major mining equipment OEM with a growing portfolio of electric and hybrid underground mining vehicles. Comparable to LDO's customer base with much broader product depth and global dealer network.

Direct peers

• MacLean Engineering: Canadian manufacturer of specialized underground mining vehicles, including battery-electric utility vehicles. Directly comparable as a competing BEV mining vehicle OEM with overlapping product categories to Rokion.
• Rokion: Rokion is the Canadian manufacturer whose BEV mining trucks (R100, R200, R400, R700) LDO Group distributes exclusively in Australasia. Direct upstream partner and core product source, making it the most operationally relevant peer.
