A haulage system 10 comprises an intelligent logistics system and/or energy management system which handles, manages, controls and optimises material and the flow within the system on a global level. The method of handling material 24 comprises receiving a feed of material at a loading station 16, utilising a low impact loading mechanism 18 to sequentially load a fleet 28 of haul vehicles and using an intelligent logistics system to manage the fleet between the loading station and an unloading station 20. The haul vehicles are sequentially unloaded, and the material provided to an uptake. The system may calculate a required number of haul vehicles in the fleet and/or a required travel rate of each haul vehicle in the fleet, which may be based on real time geolocation of individual haul vehicles, average energy consumption of the fleet and/or energy consumption of a specific vehicle, available battery power, health, weather/road conditions and/or tyre performance.
