Critical minerals are being mined faster than the logistics infrastructure can keep up with. The IEA's 2026 Critical Minerals Outlook identifies the core tension: supply exists, but the ability to extract, refine and transport it reliably does not yet match demand. Processing plants and supply chain infrastructure are being built at pace across Australia, the Americas and parts of Africa. Source: IEA, 2026. The freight involved sits in the project cargo category. Processing equipment, pressure vessels, modular plant and large electrical components. Many sites are remote. Port access is limited. The inland haul can be the hardest part. Transcar's experience in industrial plant logistics covers many of the same regions. Have a critical minerals or industrial plant project coming up?
