Paul Moore
Paul Moore is owner and editorial director of International Mining, with more than 15 years of experience as a mining and minerals industry editor. He leads the masthead’s coverage of mining technology, focusing on heavy haulage equipment, battery-electric mining trucks and automation across commodities. His work combines OEM product launches, mine deployment case studies and strategic equipment partnerships to show how new vehicles and systems are implemented at scale.
Battery-electric mining trucks and autonomy
In recent coverage of the Zijin Longking ZL230E battery-electric mining truck, Moore details the rollout of a 230 t class haul truck developed for continuous open-pit operations. He highlights that the ZL230E is currently the largest-tonnage pure electric mining truck in China and that it evolved from the LK350E platform. His reporting ties the truck’s launch to a wider investment and business-matching event for a regional “Mining + Intelligent Manufacturing” cluster, showing how new ultra-class electric haulage is positioned within local industrial strategy. Moore also tracks the strategic cooperation agreement between Fujian Longking’s intelligent mining subsidiary and autonomous haulage specialist EACON, emphasising driverless mining vehicles, smart mines and integration of vehicles, roads and cloud systems.
By including fleet deployment statistics and autonomy metrics from EACON - such as thousands of autonomous trucks operating across dozens of large mines and over 150 million kilometres of cumulative autonomous haulage - he places individual vehicle launches within established automation performance at scale.
Haulage electrification and fleet technology
Moore’s beat extends beyond single truck models to the wider electrification of mine haulage fleets.
Professional profiles of his work describe a focus on haulage, electrification and automation as core specialties, alongside coverage of coal operations and mining technology across commodities. His reporting on battery-electric fleets links truck procurement to supporting infrastructure such as battery swap stations, smart transport loops and renewable power integration at mine sites. He frequently writes about collaborations between mining companies, equipment manufacturers and technology providers, such as idle management systems being integrated into broader electrification and drive portfolios for optimised fleet performance.
Across these pieces he tends to frame electrification as an operational system, describing dispatch, charging, swapping and control as parts of a single technology stack rather than isolated hardware upgrades.
Coal operations and enabling technologies
Moore’s coverage of coal operations maintains the same technology-first lens.
Industry guides characterise him as frequently covering coal mines and the enabling technologies that support them, from haulage electrification to automation. His coal reporting centres on how new equipment and control systems reshape production, safety and efficiency at these sites, keeping the focus on practical implementation rather than market or policy commentary.
Editorial leadership and wider publishing
Alongside his reporting, Moore runs International Mining as owner and editorial director, combining editorial oversight with responsibility for events and field trips. He has more than 15 years of experience in mining and minerals publishing, having edited multiple industry magazines before taking on his current leadership role. His career includes organising and chairing mining-related events and leading site visits to operations across a range of commodities and geographies, which feed into equipment-focused reporting grounded in real mine contexts.
Database profiles indicate that his bylines also extend beyond International Mining into other trade, news and academic outlets, underlining a long-running specialisation in metals and mining topics.

Adrian Leung
Adrian Leung is a writer at Car News China who applies an electrical and computer engineering background to technically dense coverage of China’s fast-moving electric vehicle market. He focuses on new-energy models, from mainstream family EVs to concept cars, explaining battery systems, drivetrains, and on-board technology with clear numbers and straightforward descriptions. His Sunday China Drive columns look at how specific models fit real-world motoring and household budgets, balancing space, comfort, and affordability. Across launch and revision stories, he tracks BEV and EREV variants, exact dates, horsepower, range, and pricing to show where each EV sits in the broader market. He brings the same detailed focus to concept vehicles, using battery and range data plus component-level and chassis detail to treat them as complete engineering objects.
Alan Dowds
Alan Dowds is a motorcycle journalist focused on practical riding, workshop know-how and real-world bike testing. He runs Visordown while writing guides, advanced riding features and first ride reviews for road and track riders. He has more than two decades of experience, including staff roles at dedicated bike magazines, before moving into freelance work across multiple outlets. His beat covers recovery after crashes, knee-down technique, filtering, city traffic, green-laning, learner training and track riding. He also reports on production, pricing and new adventure bikes such as the Norton Atlas made in India. His workshop coverage includes puncture repairs, winter storage, chain care, engine bearings, case covers and caliper seals. He writes in direct, methodical language, using step-by-step guidance, practical testing and photos to help riders become safer, faster and more mechanically confident.
Alan Feldberg
Alan Feldberg is a fact-led automotive trade reporter who tracks how manufacturers, fleets, mobility providers and repair networks are reshaping the modern motor industry, with a particular focus on the UK car market and its supply chain. He writes concise, data-driven news for Bodyshop Magazine, having been part of its editorial team for years, including a period as Middle East editor. He covers the rise of Chinese vehicle makers, named models and market share, dealer and fleet technology, online retail platforms, leasing, remarketing and mobility networks. He also reports on repair groups, parts distributors, OEM approvals, fuel prices, employment and wider industry pressures. His pieces turn corporate announcements and market reports into clear signals for garages, bodyshops, fleets, dealers and mobility providers.
Alastair Crooks
Alastair Crooks is a senior news reporter at Auto Express who covers both new cars and the infrastructure that will support them, tying factory-scale developments to driveway-level reviews. He focuses on electric cars, mainstream launches and UK pricing, reporting on new and electrified models entering the market, their spec, positioning and what they change for buyers. His road tests of SUVs and saloons assess ride, range, interior space, value and running costs, with clear, sometimes blunt verdicts backed by specifics rather than general impressions. He writes news, reviews, features and occasional opinion columns on driving behaviour and in-car tech, drawing on his background as a car salesman, his degree in journalism and his enthusiast experience at car shows and track days. Some of his work also appears in magazine-style formats.
